According to http://passia.org/media/filer_public/d7/92/d7921c1c-39f4-4e8b-9d39-474bccb43b13/2014_diary_theme_text.pdf (p.10), it links this cemetery with another one Bab al-Rahma Cemetery saying they are on either side of a road that goes up to Lions Gate.

Bab Ar-Rahma Cemetery, located alongside the eastern wall of the Old City, is considered one of the oldest Islamic cemeteries in Jerusalem. It is named after the closed double gates known as Bab ArRahma and Bab At-Tawba (also called the Golden Gate). It is where Prophet Muhammad’s [PBUH] companions Ubada Ibn As-Samit (d. in 644) and Shaddad Ibn Aws Al-Ansari (d. in 677) are buried. The road leading up to Lions Gate splits the cemetery into two parts: the southern side which is called Bab Ar-Rahma Cemetery, and the northern side which is called Al-Asbat Gate Cemetery.

The Bab al-Rahmah Cemetery: Israeli Encroachment Continues Unabated 2018 DOI: 10.1525/jps.2018.48.1.88 says

Bab al-Rahmah Cemetery extends along the Old City’s eastern wall, which is 891 meters long, including the 460-meter section that constitutes the eastern wall of the Haram al-Sharif. The cemetery ground is intersected by Bab al-Asbat (Lions’ Gate) and the road leading to it; the northern half of the cemetery is often referred to as the Yusufiyya Graveyard, while the southern half continues to be called Bab al-Rahmah. Although they are regarded as separate, the two should be viewed as a single burial ground.
