The more exact location is on the south side of Vermont Route 105 on the south side of the road; the farm is currently owned by Greg and Celeste Stebbins, a/k/a the Stebbinshire Farms of Enosburg. The small cemetery has been farmed over at some time. Fragments of the tombstones have been found and have been placed along the fence. A hiking trail is between the road and the fence.
