Pole 
CommentNorth of Maxwell Drive behind pole 1, and a small shopping block on Post Road. Lot is overgrown with vines and brush, and coved with debris. The entrance is marked by two granite posts; there is no gate. Several stones broken, some missing from earlier surveys, A stone wall still stands around most of the lot. Arnold visited it on 31 Jul 1883, his #157, "On land of Abner A. Hart on east side of road a burial yard of the Pearce family and others, lot walled but in rather poor condition." Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
