Conant's Hill Site is an archaeological site in Wareham, Massachusetts. The area, located around Horseshoe Pond just north of Interstate 195, is a multicomponent site that includes both industrial remains dating to the 18th century, ^[2] and Native American artifacts. During excavations in 1947, remains of four Native Americans were exhumed, along with a lead ring, evidence that they were post-contact burials. ^[3] The site also includes a midden, with prehistoric artifacts dating as far back as the Late Archaic. ^[4]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. ^[1]
