CommentThis cemetery is located 500 feet south of Curtis Corner Road at telephone pole #85 / 4851 on Rockwood Lane. It is 300 feet west of the house at 91 Rockwood Lane and 850 feet northwest of SK034. It is 50 feet x 75 feet, in fair condition, enclosed with a stone wall with an iron gate. The historical cemetery sign is in poor condition. There are 39 marked burials with 22 inscribed stones and seventeen fieldstones. James N. Arnold visited this lot Oct. 6, 1880, his #126, “west of house of George May in edge of wood lot only partly protected and considerably brushy.” Arnold observed seventeen fieldstones, four adults and thirteen children. Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
