The cemetery is located on the Maclaurin's Hill-Baby 700 road. The midpoint of the three outposts located on Maclaurin's Hill takes its name from the Commander of the 14th Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Richard E. Courtney of the ANZAC Corps. The southernmost of these three points of reconnaissance was named in memory of Major T.H. Steel.

The cemetery, located to the west of the road where the old front was located, was constructed after 1919 over the tunnels situated to the south of Central Hill. The rectangular-shaped cemetery measuring 18 by 17 m is located to the southeast, and covers a total area of 306 m2 . Six Australian soldiers, a mariner, and 160 unknown officers and soldiers are interred here. Special memorials were erected for 54 Australian soldiers, two mariners and one seafarer from Royal Navy and one soldier from New Zealand were assumed to have been killed in April and May 1915 and buried here.
