Devil's Foot Cemetery Archeological Site, RI-694 is an archaeological site in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.[1] The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

In 1893, James Newell Arnold had written about Nicholas Hart unearthing graves at this location in 1868 and he sold the "relics" found on the skeleton, which included 27 rings and a copper neck plate inscribed "I.H.S." (most likely of Jesuit origins).[2]
