This cemetery is located 3/4 miles from old Kidds Fork Post Office and the intersection of Burkes Bridge Road (Route 654) and Kidds Fork Road (Route 654) and Mattaponi Trail (Route 627). Turn left off Mattaponi Trail onto a road lined by woods that is directly across from the "Stanhope" house. Follow this road for some distance to where there was once an open field. The cemetery is on the edge of where the field once was, but this area has grown over and the cemetery is now in the woods. It is behind the location of the first Caroline Courthouse. There are no visible markers for these burials.

This property was known as "Walden Towers", built in the 18th century by the Walden family. The house burned down in the mid-19th century and was never rebuilt. It backed up to the estate of Edmund Pendleton, which was called Edmundsbury.

The source cited below lists 17 possible burials in this cemetery. The burial of George Walden, who died in 1836, and was the husband of Elizabeth Walden and the father of many on the list, has also been added to this cemetery as a possibility.
