Cemetery is located in the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Right-of-Way adjacent to Covington Hwy directly across from the Department of Juvenile Justice facility curb cut onto Covington Hwy. The cemetery is in poor condition and needs a local cemetery preservation group to adopt it for cleanup and maintenance.



There are dissembled remains of at least one False Tomb grave, possibly two. These parts are largely buried with only enough parts exposed to clearly identify what the original structure was.



As of April 2021 there is ongoing construction on the adjoining tract. Graves were in their current state prior to construction starting. Per the contractor (who directed a researcher to the graves) the cemetery is being protected from construction activities. And there is to be a two foot tall retaining wall erected around the graves as part of the construction effort. And there may be a sign erected. The historic nature of the cemetery is known and respected.
