The cemetery is on the west side of Richmond Avenue, southwest of the Old Fort Baptist Church in Port Royal South Carolina.

Cemetery is owned and maintained by the Old Fort Baptist Church. It is in a somewhat sketchy area. Despite finding some markers in the brush it is otherwise fairly well maintained.

It appeared that many are buried in family type plot areas. Some have simple funeral home markers, other have the cemetery plot slabs with the funeral marker embeded in it and others have upright granite markers.

I walked and read all existing and legible stones and markers in this cemetery in the summer of 2011.
