Comment0.3 mile from junction with Congdon's Mill Rd. to the opening of a farm field on the right. Follow field 500 feet to SE corner, then go another 75 feet into the woods. Reservoir area. Alternative route: 475 feet north on Sweet Sawmill Road to the first road on the right. 245 feet SE to the first road on the left. Then go 370 feet NE down this road past the pond and over the dam. Go 200 feet SE down the trail to the first trail on the left and 150 feet NE. This cemetery has two crudely carved fieldstones with initials and dates that were later identified as the gravemarkers for Joseph and Samuel Niles using probate records. This helps place the Niles family in this part of West Greenwich. Recorded in the 1970s by Blanche Albro. Recorded in 1992 by John Sterling. GPS coordinates 41 deg. 36' 47.60"N x 71 deg. 36' 56.86W
