Also on the New York Flat Road about 0.6 miles above the Foss Cemetery on the way to Forbestown. There are no headstones and the area has grown up with brush and trees.

In 1974 Jim Lague, his uncle Edwin Lague and Charley Lynds, by witching, found about 15 graves and drove metal pipes. Ed Lague went to school there and remembered a few isolated graves near the present road, but the rest are grouped together further back.

The area around the creek was called Portugese Town, as they settled there and worked for the Foss Bros. in mining New York Creek.
