It is reached from the road to Berestechko village. Access is open to all with no wall, fence or gate. The approximate size of cemetery before WWII and now is 0.35 hectares. 1 to 20 common tombstones date from 19th century. Location of any removed stones is unknown. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. Municipality owns the property now used for agriculture (crops or animal grazing) and waste dumping. Adjacent properties are agricultural. The cemetery boundaries are unchanged since 1939. Rarely do local residents visit. The cemetery was vandalized during World War II and frequently in the last ten years. There is no maintenance now. Within the limits of the cemetery are no structures. Very serious threat: uncontrolled access, weather erosion (caused 4 stones to lie on ground) and pollution (too much refuse). Serious threat: vegetation (seasonal, disturbing the stones) and vandalism (There are a lot of holes).
