Unnamed Cemetery, 62-4 Summary Report, page 3

---

Fieldstone on top of tree-covered knoll, which appears to be a small cemetery area. More stones are indicated just beneath the surface, as if a grave may have been covered with rocks here. Redstone Arsenal: Unnamed Cemetery Location _ 1. NW/4 of Section 25, T4S-R2W. Could be the location of Hancock (Colored) Cemetery, per notation on map of Chapter 6, page 269, of Dorothy Scott Johnson's book CEMETERIES OF MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA, VOL. I, 1971. This site is quite small for a cemetery, but it is the only apparent burial area near where several maps indicate an old cemetery to be located. The large stones or boulders probably were brought to the site to cover graves, but no obvious grave depressions were noticed when visited in 2002. 3 - (2301)
