According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, the disused Tatar cemetery is located one kilometre north of Niekraszuńce. It has a rectangular plan and a 0.3 ha area fenced with a stone rampart. "Traces of burials can be found throughout the cemetery, with about 100 stones preserved, of which a dozen or so are legible, located on the southern side of the cemetery. The cemetery was probably created at the beginning of the 19th century.The oldest surviving gravestone is a granite boulder from 1821, with a crescent carved on it and an inscription in Polish: "TU W BOGU SPOCZYWA / ZOFIA ROMANOWICZOWA / PUŁKOWNIKOWA 1821"". In the cemetery is the gravestone of Jakub Romanowicz (d. 1861), a Russian colonel. The inscription reads: "HERE IN GOD REMAINS / JAKUB ROMANOWICZ / PUŁKOWNIK W. ROS. / YEAR 1861". After the cited researchers: "Several tombstones date from the early 20th century. The youngest preserved tombstone in the cemetery is a granite rectangular vertical slab from 1919 on the grave of the Romanowiczs".
