This cemetery is located in Lexington on Corley Street at the intersection of Heritage Trail, at an entrance to the Heritage Hills subdivision. The cemetery was co-located with the Lawrence Corley log house http://www.lex-co.sc.gov/departments/DeptIQ/museum/Pages/CorleyLogHouse.aspx which was moved to the Lexington County Museum in 1973. The cemetery is documented in the book Lexington Area Cemeteries volume 5 page 119 [Lexington Genealogical Association. (2001). Lexington Area Cemeteries.]

As of 27 December 2015 there is a row of eight stones in the cemetery; six of the stones have the "oval with shoulders" headstone shape and were probably once inscribed. One of the shaped stones is upright and all the other seven stones are flat on the ground including Christena Corley's headstone. Only Christena Corley's headstone still has legible characters and it has deteriorated in the past few years.
