causeway where the battle began, there is an ancient Indian 

 burial ground from which a number of skeletons and other 

 remains have been unearthed by curious seekers. Nearby is 

 the boulder called "Jack's Rock." 



Directly opposite the point where the Split Rock Road 

 enters the Shore Road, a lane leads down to the water's edge 

 through the Bartow place and to the ancient burial-place of 

 the Pell family, in which several of the manor-lords are buried. 

 The plot is surrounded by a fence with square granite posts at 

 each corner, upon each one of which there is carved a pelican, 

 the crest of the Pells. They also bear the following inscriptions :
