CommentOn east side of Tower Hill Rd, 3/10 miles south of Gilbert Stuart Rd, up the driveway at Hammond Farm. Burial grounds are several hundred feet behind new horse barn (1991). Well maintained. Arnold visited this yard 29 May 1881, his #105, "the old Hammond burial yard on Kitts Hill, north east of the farm house, lot splendidly fenced with faced granite wall, laid in cement and graded." Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
