The single grave that exists here is surrounded by a stone wall which has deteriorated, with many stones scattered around the walled grave. A family member recalls that the cemetery was ten or twelve feet long (roughly parallel to the nearby road), and maybe six or eight feet wide. Currently the wall surrounds only the one grave.
