There is a cemetery in Brunwick County, VA that had adjacent  
segregated areas so designated. The arrangement looked somewhat like  
an elongated "8" wherein the waist was attenuated. The cemeteries were  
on the periphery of a power line and there is a report at the VA SHPO  
Archives (BR-11). The white cemetery had monuments and a wall while  
the slave burials had no markers or fieldstones IIRC.
