A continuous fence and a non-locking gate surround the cemetery. The approximate size of cemetery before WWII and now is 10.00 hectares. 101 to 500 stones, most in original location, date from 1686. Location of any removed stones is unknown. The cemetery has special sections for women, rabbis and Cohanim. Some tombstones have traces of painting on their surfaces. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. Municipality owns site used for Jewish cemetery only. Properties adjacent are agricultural and residential. The cemetery boundaries are unchanged since 1939. Frequently, organized Jewish group tours or pilgrimage groups and local residents visit. The cemetery was vandalized during World War II. L'vov Synagogue re-erected stones, fixed wall and fixed gate in 1992-93. There is no maintenance now. Within the limits of the cemetery are no structures. Slight threat: weather erosion (seasonal), pollution, vegetation, vandalism and proposed nearby development.
