Rossi Road is in Torrington, just north of the border with Litchfield. It is not a mineral rich area. Either the reference is in error by stating that this locality is in Litchfield (the reference does not list its sources), or more likely it refers to the mineral rich area along Town Farm Road in Litchfield, not far south from Rossi Road.
