- Severens Graveyard
LOCATION: Remote location off Old College Road/Keyser Road near Andover border, very poor access on private property. Rampant poison ivy in area.
This graveyard designation as Shaw Hill seems to be confused with the Oak Hill Cemetery at another location off of Shaw Hill. S02-010 is actually the Severens Graveyard at the base of Shaw Hill in what was likely the lower fields of Eliphalet Shaw/Keyser/Barnes farmland.
The list was compiled by a visual observation in 2011.
