According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The cemetery could not be found marked on old maps of the region. According to the Commission on Preservation of Jewish Heritage, the cemetery was established in the first half of the 18th century. According to locals, the gravestones date to the late 20th century. The territory of the cemetery is used for cattle grazing. The cemetery is surrounded by a 2 metre tall concrete wall, installed by ESJF in 2019. The section of the cemetery which borders private land is fenced with a 1.5 metre tall metal fence. There are 2 entrances in the fence. The cemetery is located on Polova street, around 325 metres from the road to Pohrebysche, by the left side of the road.
