This location was field visited during the Fort Pickett Cultural Resource Program's archaeological survey project #2004.19 and no evidence of a cemetery could be found in the vicinity (Boyko 2007: 45). Any remaining evidence of this cemetery after its relocation has probably been obliterated by erosion and subsequent military training activity."
