fieldstone

/fˈildstoʊn/ noun

A stone found in fields and used for building.

Word Origin Fieldstone is exactly what it sounds like: stones found in fields. 'Field' comes from Proto-Germanic 'felthuz,' meaning open land, and 'stone' from 'stainaz.' Farmers would clear these stones from their fields and use them for walls and foundations. So fieldstone is literally a stone from the field. The same roots give us battlefield, cornfield, limestone, sandstone, and milestone.
