This grave-yard is rarely frequented now a days. It is supposed to be "full-up". It is a much irregular, rough and over-grown mass of weeds, thistles, etc.
It is very ancient. Some of the dates on the tombstones show that it had been in use for nearly 200 years. At one time, it was the family burying ground of the chiefs of Clara and district.
