For many years, all burials are said to have been done here on the hill. According to one tradition, the very first area used was actually to the east of the present bounds, although no trace of it has been found. In any case, the earliest graves were either unmarked, or had wooden or simple stone markers that have since disappeared. The earliest marked grave here is that of Joseph Meriam, who died in 1677 at age 47
The cemetery sits on 1.16 acres. There are approximately 500 headstones with the earliest (marked) death date of 1677, the latest is 1854.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as CON.804 Old Hill Burying Ground.
This cemetery is referred to as GR1 in the "Vital Records of Concord Massachusetts to the end of the year 1850."
Note: The entrance for this cemetery is from Monument Square through the gate between Holy Family Parish and the "brick-end" house.
