CommentLocated 500 feet east of Tower Hill Rd, and 550 feet south of Phillips St. Yard lies in woods about 200 feet behind barn on property at 376 Tower Hill Rd. In 2013 it has been cleared of brush seen in 1990. James Arnold recorded this lot 28 Feb 1880, his #8, "Old Boone burial yard Wickford On land of Dr. Sunderland east of the Catholic church, lot unprotected marked by rude stones we counted 16 large abd 9 small graves." Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
