Just a little further west and located to the right (north) of the road is Hop Store Cemetery , a small narrow cemetery. It was started in May 1915, and although it would have just been within range of some of the German artillery, it was used until 1917. The size of the cemetery was constrained by its location, between a hedge and the Hop Store itself. Low lying, it was marshy and the site was drained by the Royal Engineers early in 1917. According to the cemetery plan there used to be a moat at the far end of the cemetery, but there is no sign of this now. The grave rows run mainly parallel with one of the boundary walls, but the other wall curves in, and the rows of graves themselves curve slightly.
