References: None Additional Comments: Two individuals reported the location of this cemetery and their separate accounts corroborate each other. While both informants have visited the cemetery, one reported he “trucked the casket of Dicey Bandy” to the cemetery many years ago. He also reported the cemetery contained several graves, including a number of unmarked graves. Both informants also indicated that any attempt to survey the cemetery should be approached with caution since the current landowner does not permit property access.

Both informants reported the cemetery is located on a knoll that rises from the top of a large ridge system that forms the boundary between Roanoke and Franklin counties. Access to the cemetery can be gained by following an unimproved road about 0.5 miles north by northeast of Crowell Gap Road (Route 657). This unimproved road is marked on the USGS Garden City map sheet. It traverses rugged terrain to connect Crowell Gap Road with Windy Gap Road (Route 116) in Franklin County.

Two knolls are present in the vicinity of the reported cemetery. One knoll reaches an elevation of 2024 feet and is located just over 0.8 miles from Crowell Gap Road (UTM grid coordinates: Northing 4115140 and Easting 597040). The other knoll reaches an elevation of 1980 feet and is located about 0.6 miles from Crowell Gap Road (UTM grid coordinates: Northing 4115000 and Easting 596760).
