Hi all--

I visited an abandoned cemetery yesterday that I assume dates from
the late 19th-early 20th c.  All the markers present were fieldstone,
and the burials appear to be oriented with the heads to the west.  At
the eastern end of the cemetery, where the main avenue of approach
would have been judging from the road network and topography, was a
pile of more fieldstone.  I realize that these may have been
stockpiled for, or removed from, the cemetery, but it also occurred
to me that they may have formed a monument for the cemetery itself in
the absence of an associated church.  Perhaps a cairn, and even more
tentatively, a cairn with a cross (or something) stuck in it.

Has anybody come across a similar situation?

Thanks,

Chris Clement
