The Neck of Land Cemetery is a small historic cemetery on Summer Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. Established in 1687 near the confluence of the Mill and Taunton Rivers, it was the city's first cemetery. Most of its graves predate 1800; there are four burials before 1700, including two children. The cemetery is a roughly rectangular plot, about 0.5 acres (0.20 ha) in size, on the south side of Summer Street, between Prospect and West Summer Streets. The most significant individual buried in the cemetery is Taunton founder and first female colonial land claimer Elizabeth Poole. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
