You could always do a deed search and see if is mentioned in the earlier deeds of the suspected property. I had to do the same with a family cemetery in Rappahannock County. There was "talk" about a new cell tower being proposed on the property. The State of Virginia does safeguard cemeteries and especially those who have graves of Revolutionary and Civil War veterans.

She made strong reference to a Wharton Cemetery here. John and I attempted to locate it but were not successful. Mrs. Wharton, wife of Rev War (Sam?) Wharton is buried there. She would qualify for the State restoration program. She was the grandmother of Civil War Gen Gabriel Colvin Wharton. The area we searched was near the railroad and found remains of a very old wooden fence (nice potential). None of the "oldtimers" in the area remembered a cemetery on that property. Suggestions???
