Hello, I’m wondering if you come across anything marking an old burial ground for the people who lived in Deep Cove and Kennington Cove on this trail. I have been trying to find it, as my ancestors are buried at this site.
Thanks
Hi Erin, we have not heard of this burial ground, but will see what we can find out!
My ancestors are buried there also. My grandmother wanted the area marked and brought it to the park personnel’s attention but without much response. I don’t know more details.
