Notes. The apparent boundary of the property that contains this cemetery is well marked with iron stakes. Within this boundary a new (2000) natural-wood fence has been erected. A space in the fence allows for entrance/exit. Most low, woody vegetation has been removed. A few stones are standing, but most are propped up or laying on the ground.
