Wright Cemetery is located in northwestern Westford, just north of the junction of Lynwood Lane and Groton Road (Massachusetts Route 40), a major artery through that part of the town. The cemetery occupies about 0.5 acres (0.20 ha) of a larger 4.5-acre (1.8 ha) parcel, the rest of which is wooded. The cemetery is roughly rectangular, with a capstoned fieldstone wall along the road, and a fence of granite posts and wooden rails on the other three sides.
