At the site are three good-sized bases but only two headstones were found. On the north side there is a smaller base that has been broken located near a small sapling and to the south of the three bases is a depression that could be an unmarked grave. Mr. Mitchell said that several years ago some people on horses rode through the area and the markers were knocked over.
