This cemetery was recorded by the staff of the William and Mary Center for Archaeological Research during a survey in 1994 (Huston et al.1994:153). An associated farmstead dating to the first quarter of the 19th century was noted to the west.

The current survey was unable to locate any depressions and the fieldstones in the area were displaced. It appears the site/cemetery may have been impacted by military training activities in the area (Plate 17)." "The cemetery is marked as "relocated" in Tract J-198 owned by Reps E. Connally on the 1944 Real Estate Property Map (see Table 1 and Figure 1). Godburn's list of graves relocated to Butterwood Church notes 21 individuals as having been moved from this location: Ammy H. Fowlkes, Thomas H. Fowlkes, Emily Fowlkes, Octavia Fowlkes, Infant son of T. and E. Fowlkes and 16 Unknown individuals (Godburn 1977: G-9). Huston recommended the site and cemetery be considered not eligible to the National Register of Historic Places but that the cemetery be avoided by all soil disturbing activities (Huston et al 1994:155)."
