Archaeological artefacts, including late 19th century bottle glass and ceramics indicate the likely location of the hotel. Agave plants at this site may have been part of the hotel garden. A small burial ground is located some 150 metres south of the former Hervey Range Road and Range Hotel site. The graves are overgrown with lantana and spear grass. There are three ornate sandstone headstones of a type often found in North Queensland burials dating before c.1880. No maker's names are present although it is likely the headstones were imported from Brisbane with the inscriptions added locally. The lettering on the headstones has weathered and one is lying horizontal on the ground. Each grave is encircled by white-painted stones. The graves have been identified as follows: 1. Francis Earl, a local squatter who died of fever at the Range Hotel on 12 March 1866. The inscription reads: Sacred to the Memory of Francis John Earl Died at the Range Hotel On the 12th March 1866 Aged 25 years In the midst of life we are in death (verse illegible) 2. Mary Langton, a mother of three small children under 4 years old, who committed suicide by taking poison at the age of 28 years. Her husband, John Langton, carried goods from Townsville to Dalrymple Township. The inscription reads: Sacred to the Memory of Mary Langton Who departed this life 6th December 1873 Aged 28 years The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away Blessed by the name of the Lord 3. John Henry Bell, a child of 4 years, who died of inflammation of the lungs in May 1879. His father, Charles, was a carrier and lived at Bellgrove on the Hervey Range Road. The inscription reads: In loving memory of John Henry Second son of Charles & Mary Ann Bell Born 14th January Died 11th May 1875 The Langton and Earl headstones are aligned north-south about 8 m apart, with the Bell headstone between them, about 5 m northwest of the Langton headstone. The layout of the graves suggests that there may have been as many as five plots between the Langton and Earl burials and three rows of grave plots. The positions of the graves imply a possible original layout of at least 21 grave plots in three rows of seven. The graves were likely marked with wooden grave markers which have since been destroyed by fire, termites or fungal decay.
