The Royal Marine cemetery is about a quarter of the way up the Young Hill trail. It is the resting place of five marines and one civilian. Another marine, whose body was never found, is memorialized. The four masonry stones are original. The wooden marker is a replica of the original which is housed in the park's collection.
