The answer

The land in question is a graveyard, not a part of your farm. The presence of graves and bones therein confirms that it is an endowment (waqf) for those buried in it. It is not permissible for you or anyone else to own it or benefit from it by residing on it, farming it, building on it, or pitching tents on it.
