The men that died that day were left to the elements, and never received proper burial. This is a Burial Ground rather than a Cemetery. There are no headstones or flowers, just a Historical Marker erected by the Archer County Historical Survey Committee. The actual fight took place about 1.5 miles west of this marker at the site of three natural stone mounds which appeared to the Indians to be small houses.
