The village of Mad Stoat would probably be part of Lancre Town, were it not for the violent geography of the country. The horizontal separation is negligible, but in Lancre, horizon and horizontality are scarce, and the two villages are displaced vertically by enough mountain to discourage frivolous visits.
Mad Stoat is the site of the cottage of Lancre's third witch, once Goodie Whemper, then Magrat Garlick, and recently, Agnes Nitt.
Either the dwarfs of Copperhead Mine are geographically beneath Mad Stoat, or close by, as they asked Magrat Garlick to examine the most non-magical sword found with the infant Carrot Ironfoundersson and she was close enough to tell them how to stop spelling 'recommendation' in Guards! Guards!.
Annotation
The stoat (Mustela erminea) is a small mammal of the family Mustelidae - also known as the short-tailed weasel and the ermine.
