During the late 70's/early 80's, coal mining was heavy in the vicinity. While most of the hillside was stripped, the burial ground was left in place though most is overgrown.
It's said that stones dated back to pre-Revolutionary war. Friends and I recall seeing a stone for "Elizabeth" but I was unable to locate it.
There doesn't appear to be any sign of vandalism, but foliage is thick, some trees have fallen and are decomposing. It's difficult to locate anything legible.
It is no longer an accessible walk from the road. The area is lush with wild raspberries and thorns, and nearing the top is an electric fence. There is, however, an accessible service lane nearby that will take you behind the fence to the base of the mound and you can access the hilltop there.
