J. Kelsey Jones is correct, the mound upon which this cemetery sits is, most likely, of glacial origin and the term he's racking his brain for is "drumlin", a smooth elongated hill composed of glacial till. There are many of these all over northern PA. The clincher was Paul Newell's description of it being about 100 feet long, 30 feet wide and 10 feet high, typical proportions for a drumlin, albeit a small one. I'd be willing to bet that it's rounded at the northern end and somewhat more pointed at the other, unless it was altered for some reason when it became a cemetery. I suspect that there may even be other drumlins which have been used as cemeteries. They are made up of various sizes of smooth rocks and sandy soil and would thus be relatively easy to dig in with hand tools. Glad to be of help.
