There is no sign naming this cemetery, and google maps doesn't show a cemetery here, but I was able to find information online about this cemetery and who is interred here.

This website (
visit link) accurately identifies the location and prominent names found on headstones in this cemetery, so I consider the information reliable. It indicates 191 interments.
Briggs is a frequently found surname throughout.
Several headstones were carved from slate, which I found very interesting. Although not altogether readable, one was a "double headstone and another you could read (if I had better pictures) that it reads "consort of", rather than "wife of"! One blocked off family plot was overrun by vines.
There is a prominent tree in this small cemetery that I cannot identify. It has branches like a willow, but has light, smooth bark like a birch. I'll guess that it is a variety of willow, as these are a symbol of grief, that this seems to have been deliberately planted, rather than left in place with interments placed around it.
