DESCRIPTION:

This is a small cemetery, located at the corner of the River and Graves Roads, 
and protected by a strong wire fence.

Within the enclosure are several large deciduous trees, and the little space in 
which are tombstones of various sizes, appears to have been cut out of the 
forest which towers on either side.
