1851 White Hill *
George Meck 49
Ann Meck 15
Joseph Meck 13
Lucy Meck 9

* The original of the above is with Book 4a 577

In the enumeration notes to this book
" also 1 house called White Hill taken from E Book 3c 354

4a and 3c are East Dean enumeration books so, 3c claims that White Hill in the parish of Ruardean was removed, 3c contains Drybrook, which tends to tie in with the Morse.

So going to Old Maps just north of Morse Lane leading out of Drybrook towards Ruardean we find
Whitehill, which I suspect is where Puddlebrrok Quarry is today.
