General site condition
The exact perimeter of the cemetery is unknown, and it is possible the cemetery is partially overbuilt. There are two tombstones on the site, one of which is dated 1908. The inscription on the second is illegible. There are more stones scattered about the surrounding area, but these are either destroyed or covered by soil, so additional research is necessary in order to establish an accurate count.
