This location was used as the main burial location for the people of early Quirindi, though attempts to gazette the area as a formal cemetery failed. When the current Quirindi Cemetery was dedicated on 31 December 1878, the burial ground was rendered redundant and ceased use in the early 1880s.

There are no remaining signs of the burial ground, and no remaining headstones. The last memorial stone, that of James Cropper, was removed for other uses around the late 1920s. With the changing of the paths of waterways, some of the burial area now lies under Quirindi Creek.
