This graveyard is situated on a slight rise at the edge of a grove of trees, a short distance from the old Stringfellow place, known as Retreat. It is surrounded by a fence four feet high and eighteen inches thick, with an iron gate that leads to the graves. The stones are in good condition and easy to read. There are quite a number of graves here, but few graves have very old inscriptions. Outside of this enclosure there are quite a number of graves marked with common field stones not inscribed. These are said to be slaves graves.
The cemetery is extremely difficult to find and is very badly overgrown. It is impossible to see in the woods but has a rough wall made of stones. One grave is outside the wall and is surrounded by a metal fence. The road to the site is completely overgrown, and when wet, it is almost impassable. Recommend a high ground clearance vehicle, extreme caution, and waiting until winter.
