Enslaved laborer cemetery of the Maury family located on what are now UVA Grounds at the Gooch-Dillard dormitories. Also known as the Gooch-Dillard Cemetery. Nine burial shafts were discovered in 1982 after a descendant of the Maury family informed the University of Virginia about the cemetery (UVA had previously acquired the property). In 2019, interpretive panels were installed recognizing the cemetery adding to the almost-hidden stone tablet installed after the discovery of the grave shafts.
