This cemetery dates to about 1830 and contains about 100 graves almost all of which are unmarked. Canvassed by Doris Tilley and Robin and Matt Winfree (1980).

Visited in July 2003 by Allen Dew. This abandoned cemetery is covered by thick forest with a covering of periwinkle. Many fallen trees. Only one inscribed stone marker found and numerous metal funeral markers, almost all of which are unreadable. Several funeral home markers are from Scarborough & Hargett.
