The graves at Burr’s Hill were notable for the wealth of material goods they contained, most of which dated to the seventeenth century, and more particularly to the period of Philip’s sachemship.7 The cemetery’s proximity to Sowams also has led to speculation, usually downplayed by archaeologists and historians, that Massasoit, Alexander, or both may have been buried there. One of the graves unearthed was particularly rich in artifacts and contained a copper necklace thought to have been presented by Edward Winslow to Massasoit. Materials detailing the excavation of this grave are held by the Haffenreffer Museum.

Burr’s Hill was purchased by Warren in 1921 and made into a public park. Today, Burr’s Hill Park includes a baseball field, a playground, and parking for Warren residents interested in sunbathing along the river.
