| Comment | Opposite the Well's estate called Druid's Dream. There are 8 four foot urns without inscriptions, in a circle.
Witches’ Altar and Druidsdream are in the northwest corner of Hazard Avenue and Gibson Avenue, Narragansett, RI. Walk a little into the woods off Gibson Avenue in Narragansett and you will see a mystical circle of smooth, upright stones, ringed around what appears to be a central altar stone. The circle of stones bears little trace of wear and tear, some of them offering pools of rainwater in the smoothly carved depressions at their top. This unusual spot can become a place for rituals and spells with only a small amount of imagination.
This antemortem tomb of Joseph Peace Hazard, a member of one of the oldest and most eccentric families in South County, was erected in the early 1880s. An avid traveler, Hazard was fascinated by the Druids and upon returning from a visit to Stonehenge in England, constructed a tomb and monument to his family, naming it Kendal Green. He named the nearby stone house Druidsdream. He placed an unusually curved stone a little way off from the circle, calling it “Druids Chair.” Although Hazard is not buried at the spot and it was not intentionally constructed for ritual use, the mystique of the stones and their placement has prompted countless ghost stories and spine shivers for decades. Take a walk around the circle and it’s not hard to imagine what might have happened at this spot.
This is technically not a cemetery, but it was registered as one in the 1960s. |
