CommentOff south side West Main ST, about 500' from road, behind #180 W. Main a grassy lane west of the house leads southeasterly along a stones wall to lot. It is on the right clinging to a slope. No trace of enclosure. Arnold visited there on 1 Jun 1880, his #64, "On land of A. B. Chadsey Wickford a distance south of his house is a burial yard fairly fenced but now shows marks of neglect, lot in poor condition." Burgess notes: "Howard Bicknell told me that there were other graves here at one time, now destroyed by grave-diggers." Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
