Type and height of existing fence
Yes, the cemetery is fenced on two sides. The first one is concrete, 1.5 meters high, erected on the initiative of FODŻ along the road, but not at the border of the cemetery. It has a metal gate which is useless because the fence ends right behind it and you can freely enter the cemetery. Another fence, older or even historical, is located on a hill about 30m from the wall and is made of metal mesh, it is about 1m high and is damaged in many places. From the north, instead of the net, there is barbed wire at a height of about 0.5m. The mesh fence likely marks the historical boundaries of the cemetery.
