I know that many cemeteries in Jamaica probably need prioritizing, but perhaps this one needs it just a little bit more. It's an old Jewish cemetery near Lacovia, St. Elizabeth Parish.

It's on a privately owned pineapple farm where the plants grow between the markers. The owner, a Mr Robinson, is friendly about showing people around, but according to the visitjamaica.com site, he's elderly. There's no telling what will happen to the property next.
