Indian Burial Ground, Little Sandy Pond Road, Plymouth, Massachusetts 02360, is 
located on the southeastern shore of Little Herring Pond on the Plymouth-Bourne 
town line.

There are no signs alerting a traveler to the location of this burial ground 
that, judging from numerous raw, uncut stones marking headstones and footstones, 
and carefully placed piles of rocks, certainly mark the burial sites of unnamed 
Native Americans.

Directions:  Going south on Route3, exit at #2, White Cliffs.  Take a left onto 
Herring Pond Road.  Travel about 2.6 miles and take a right onto Little Sandy 
Pond Road.  The burial ground is about 1/5 of a mile on the right abutting 
private property.

These stones are transcribed as accurately as possible.  Spellings are as they 
appear on the stone.   Where I have typed a question mark in a parenthesis "(?)" 
means that I am not able to determine exactly what is engraved on the stone, but 
have taken an educated guess: e.g., "1853(?)" means "It appears to 1853"; or 
"ALDEN(?)" means "It appears to be ALDEN."  A question mark without a 
parenthesis "?" simply means that an alpha or numeric in a word or date cannot 
be exactly ascertained but again, an educated guess is made:  "185?" means 
"eighteen-hundred-and- fifty-something"; or "Born ? 7, 1853" means "born on the 
7th in an unreadable month in 1853"; or "? ALDEN" means "unreadable given name 
ALDEN".  Stones are in excellent to poor condition with more gravesites 
identified with only unmarked raw stones, than with carved stones.  It was not 
necessary to clean any stones because the ones that could not be read were 
either broken and missing, or extremely worn.   Finally, important to note is 
that I am extremely careful to ensure that NO STONES ARE DAMAGED, and the site 
remained undisturbed during this project.
