as there are no known structures surviving from that period in the scatterville vicinity, the scatterville cemetery is locally significant as the best surviving link to this important early clay county settlement which faded from view in the post-railroad era. the scatterville cemetery comprises roughly two acres and is set in an impressive stand of largely oak and hickory trees. the cemetery is surrounded on three sides by a barbed-wire fence of indeterminate age, and is further designated by a large cast-iron marker erected at the entrance by the arkansas history commission in 1973.
