They appear on the 1835 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, labelled in the distinctive italic lettering the OS reserved for antiquities and features of note. Then, as far as the record is concerned, the trail goes cold.

The graves sit, at least cartographically, on low-lying ground on either side of the R209. No subsequent survey has confirmed their existence. No physical evidence of burials has been found at the roadside. It is possible the 1835 surveyors recorded something that was already fading from the landscape, a pair of mounds or disturbed ground that local knowledge still identified as graves. It is equally possible the features were misread or misremembered even then. What remains is a single moment of documentation, a small italic word repeated twice on a sheet of paper, and no corroboration from any direction since.
