Stump Road Cemetery covers an area of 399 square metres and is bounded by a low rubble wall and a thorn hedge.  It is planted with four thorn trees.  It stands just below the ridge between Grandcourt and Pozières with very wide views of the battlefields of 1916-18. 

The village of Grandcourt was reached by the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division on 1 July 1916, but it could not be held. 

Grandcourt was eventually occupied by the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division on 7 February 1917 after a series of local attacks begun in November 1916. 

Stump Road Cemetery was made by the 7th Buffs the following month.

Stump Road was a sunken road running south from Grandcourt up the hillside towards Pozières. 

Stump Road Cemetery is located 8km north east of Albert, about 40 yards east of the road from Grandcourt to Pozières, about half a mile from Grandcourt.
