The Sinclair Cemetery, enclosed by a fence and bordered by trees, features what looks like an entrance where 5-7 Sunny Grove is located today. While the slope beneath this possible entrance is fairly steep, there are signs of the bank being terraced into two steps, with an old path running above and alongside a row of holly trees. Additionally, a concrete platform below the bank resembles the foundation of a small structure. Though it’s unclear what once stood there, an elaborate entrance is one possibility.
