Statement of Significance

The Sutton family graveyard, which was once on the property but is now separated, is also high historical and cultural significance, providing valuable information about the fates of three of the Sutton family members. Recommendations for Management: Preserve the graveyard and provide appropriate protection for the site.

Physical Description

The graves associated with the farm are now separated by canals, but remain a feature of a small park within the Halls Head canal development. The surrounding original limestone wall is in poor condition in part, but appropriately weathered for its age, as are the trees that shelter and frame the graves. Parts of the farm can be seen from this graveyard. Winjan’s camp was also on Sutton’s Farm.
