CommentThis cemetery is located 140 feet northeast of Gooseberry Road at telephone pole #16. It is at the house at #170 Gooseberry Road. It is 45 feet x 35 feet, in fair condition, enclosed with a stone wall with an iron gate, and the historical cemetery sign is missing. It contains fifteen burials with twelve inscribed stones and three fieldstones. In 2001 it was heavily overgrown. James N. Arnold visited this lot Oct. 16, 1880, his #185, “on land of John P. Sherman west of his house a burial yard granite posts with iron rails in good order.” Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
