CommentThis cemetery is located fifteen feet east of Gardiner Lane at telephone pole #3761. It is 1,460 feet north of James Trail and one hundred yards south of the Exeter line. It can only be reached from James Trail end of Gardiner Road. It is 110 feet x 35 feet, in good condition, with no enclosure except for a stone wall on the road side (west side). There is no historical cemetery sign. There are sixteen fieldstones, five of which are crudely inscribed. James N. Arnold recorded this lot Nov. 17, 1880, his #247, “on land of [blank] beside road in lot beside wall otherwise unprotected a burial yard.” Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
