See Die juedischen Friedhoefe in der Slowakei [Jewish Cemeteries in Slovakia] 1966 by the late Eugen Barkany. "In the old cemetery on a plain with a stone wall, the oldest stones are only 200 years old, although we know that cemetery is more than 300 years old. When it was filled, a new cemetery was agreed to about 1810, then cancelled. Old cemetery then was filled in earthen layers until new cemetery could be reinstated and used."
