Description

The image depicts Sugarloaf Rock. In the foreground is a prominent, large rock next to a stone wall. Several houses are visible in the distance, set against a backdrop of open fields and a clear sky. Although the glass plate negative notes Squibnocket Village, this rock is not particularly near this village.
