100 feet from the road to the entrance.

In the area between these stones and the fence which is farther to the right,
unmarked graves were detected while dowsing by Ken Gilkey.
This could be the section where the slaves were buried.
The tall light colored stone in the background is that of Willis & Lucy (Burton) Calvert.
Willis was a son of Spencer & Nancy (Leatherwood) Calvert
