Stonepit Field, or Stone Pit Field, appears to be in Milnrow.

From GenUKI:
MILNROW, a village and a chapelry-in Butterworth township, Rochdale parish, Lancashire. The village stands on the river Beil, near the Rochdale canal, and near the Oldham and Rochdale branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway, 2 miles ESE of Rochdale; is a seat of extensive manufacture, doing large business in the woollen trade; and has a station with telegraph on the railway, and a post office under Rochdale.

Interestingly, there is/was a Stonefield St in Milnrow. Possibly got it's name from Stonepit Field.

If you could get hold of a map from the late 1800's you compare the area of the present street.

It looks as if there was a quarry ( or stonepit) just off the NewHey Road. That does sound the likeliest one. "GoogleEarth" may show it today?
