Survey Description: Site consists of a small family cemetery with two interments. Graves are visible as rectangular depressions on the ground surface and are marked with uninscribed fieldstone markers. Site is not surrounded by a fence and no historic plantings were identified in the immediately surrounding area. Site is located about 80 feet south of a cabin and about 12 feet south of a gravel driveway/parking lot along the south side of the cabin. Site is located near the summit of Catawba Mountain at Beckner Gap. Informant indicated that Mrs. Yopp and her child may be buried in the graves; however, this requires verification. Site was field inspected, and site size was estimated by pacing the horizontal extent of observed graves.
