Description
The walls to the burial ground in front of the Quaker Meeting House date from the 20th to early 21st century. They are constructed as drystone walls with triangular coping stones on the south and west sides. An iron gate on the east side, which is from the 20th to early 21st century, is flanked by sections of drystone wall that have flat copings. All of these walls are approximately 4 feet high, except for the section of the east wall that adjoins the Meeting House, which is about 8 feet high and made of coursed rubble with segmental copings.
