The Ivy Hill Plantation home and outbuildings no longer exist. From the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: "(In 1990) A large cemetery was located approximately 600 it to the northwest of the main house area. Measuring 400 by 150 ft this area coneists of at least 128 marked and unmarked graves. A 45 by 80 ft area enclosed by a wire and stone fence contained 30 burials some containing head an8 foot stone markers. Eleven of these graves were marked and contain names related to the Tarry family... Outside of the fence all of the graves were unmarked, being evidenced by elongated surface depressions. The majority of the graves were aligned east to west, though some of the depressions did not follow this pattern... The unmarked graves-area is probably that of slave, freedman or lower socioeconomic class." Two cemeteries were identified on the property in 1951, but were likely combined for the 1990 review.
