CommentThis lot is located 10 ft west of Potowomut Road at telephone pole #2. This cemetery is 60 ft x 40 ft, in poor condition, with no enclosure except for a stone wall along the road. It contains sevenburials with five inscribed stones. The historic cemetery sign is missing. It is on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #210, Lot #70. There is data in the Arnold collection (Vol. 29, p. 246), probably taken in the 1930s but not identified as to transcriber. Charles and Martha Benns recorded this cemetery in 1934, their number 247. Recorded by John Sterling for a book on Warwick cemeteries.
