About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This is a Narragansett Indian burial ground that was accidentally discovered in 1936. It was systematically excavated in 1966 and 1967 and the subject of a 1970 book "Cautantowwit's House, an Indian Burial Ground on the Island of Conanicut in Narragansett Bay" by William Scranton Simmons. It is on the grounds of the Jamestown Lawn School. It is 240 ft. north of Watson Ave and 240 ft. east of Melrose Ave.
