When I visited Bibrka in 2006, I was told that part of the Jewish cemetery had been located on this small hill and that the rest of the cemetery area had been incorporated into a military installation and was not accessible to me.  I was also told that there were no stones remaining in either part of the cemetery.  I saw neither stones nor any indication that the site might have once been a cemetery.
