This abandoned cemetery has eight legibly marked graves enclosed by a rock wall. Canvassed by Jeff Upchurch (1981) who did not record any names. Surveyed by Claude W. Davis on December 11, 2006 who recorded seven legibly marked graves.

Notes [2006] - I found seven legibly marked graves. Found additional stones possibly positioned as head and foot stones at two locations, but the stones are too weathered and broken to positively identify as grave markers.

The walled cemetery entrance is on the Forest access road. The seven legible graves are all at the back of the cemetery opposite the entrance. I found the cemetery overgrown.
