Officially colonized by the British in 1627, Barbados was by the end of the seventeenth century the richest possession of Britain's Caribbean empire. This wealth was driven by, and fundamentally dependent on, slave labor,  which played out on cash-crop plantations throughout the island. One such site was Newton Plantation, roughly 9.2 km (5.7 mi) east of the port of Bridgetown. The adjacent Newton Slave Burial Ground became the final resting place of (hundreds? thousands?) of African, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Bajan slaves from c. 1660-1820.
