Eastern Cape, KEISKAMMAHOEK district, Burnshill, Lenye, Fort Cox British Military Memorial

Cemetery / Memorials Information:  

Built in 1835 near Burnshill Mission Station, hardly a trace remains of this once important fort and bush and aloes have taken over.  That makes it hard to pinpoint the exact position of the cemetery on Google Earth but it is approximately at 32° 45' 31.30" S, 27° 1' 51.46" E. There are more than 10 gravestones to be seen, but only one with an inscription. (Robert Speirs)
