CommentLocated 640 feet south of South Road and 600 feet west of Narrow Lane. Many stones have been knocked down by livestock. The Sweet name on this cemetery is partly speculation. In tracing the deeds back it appears this land was owned by Samuel Sweet until 1778. Recorded by Bruce MacGunnigle for a 1991 book on East Greenwich cemeteries.
