James N. Arnold visited on Oct. 11, 1880, his #159: "In the woods southwest of D. E. Tefft's house numerous graves covered with timber said to be an Indian burial yard, graves impossible to count owing to their irregularity. Vandal hands have dug into these graves and have carried away tokens thereby proving them Indian. Thomas D. Tucker says these burials covered a space of 100 acres and is by far the largest Indian burial ground in the country/" The 1857 Walling map of South Kingstown shows this burial ground east of Cedar Swamp Pond almost to Post Rd. Formerly known as SK701.
The map location is approximate.
