Comment
This cemetery is located 2,400 feet north of South County Trail. It is northwest of the old Moore house foundation. The house foundation can be reached from South County Trail (Route #2) or from the farm containing SK054 northeast of the cemetery at 2903 South County Trail at telephone pole #8831. From the foundation of the Moore house follow the stone wall west of the house up the hill in a northerly direction to the first wall intersecting from the east. The cemetery is seventy feet from the intersection in the southeast corner. It is sixty by thirty feet, in fair condition, with no enclosure or historical cemetery sign. There are nineteen burials with nine inscribed stones and ten fieldstones. James N. Arnold recorded this lot Nov. 9, 1880, his #229, “on land of Charles Moore on side hill north of his house, partly protected.” Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
