A rectangular Jewish cemetery opened in 1868 is situated on the north eastern corner of Witton Cemetery, south of College Road. The area is bounded by a red brick wall approximately 2m high that encloses an area 130m long and 80m wide. The site has many rows of Matzevah headstones on a north east to south west orientation. A paved area in the centre of the site contained a hexagonal Ohel that has been demolished. At the north eastern corner is a granite obelisk with a wrought iron fence. This was constructed to commemorate the placement of burials that were removed from Granville Street cemetery. About 30 fragments of Matzevah from Betholom Row Jewish Cemetery have been placed along the walls.
