Wake County Real Estate Data says the cemetery address is 0 Forestville Rd., but that is misleading. The only approach is from Franklin St.

Shirley Olson walked this cemetery with Kari DiMotta and Suzanne Yu on April 3, 2006. The cemetery appears to lie directly in the path of the planned extension of Franklin St. This part of Wake County is being heavily developed and the uniting of the 2 parts of Franklin St. is inevitable. The burial ground lies within a rusting barbed wire fence enclosing 1.64 acres. It is very neglected and overgrown with at least 10 deeply sunken graves, so care must be taken when viewing the cemetery. A mat of leaves cover the ground which is irregular. A number of headstones are in good condition. Part of the graves are in an orderly row but others are scattered randomly. It appears to be an abandoned cemetery.

There is a tomb, broken and open, no occupant. Numerous rough stone markers. An outline in rocks of an unmarked grave.
