General site condition
The area of the cemetery is located in a forest. In the middle of the forest there is a low green mesh fence, but it does not cover the entire area of the cemetery. There is a lot of rubbish in the unfenced part. and the area is treated as a toilet. Many tombstones have been preserved in the western part of the cemetery.
Number of existing gravestones
27. In the western part of the cemetery there are 27 preserved matzevot. 26 of them are in the fenced pat of the cemetery and 1 is outside, in the forest. A Matzevah has half collapsed into the ground, it is standing upright, so it is very likely that it is at the burial site. Next to the fence from west side there is a standing matzevah which is partly damaged.
