This is very interesting: https://news.nationalgeographic.com/201 ... nity-rome/
The story is, Constantine's sent people to discover and secure the then-believed location of Jesus burial and resurrection. While we can't say it's the authentic place, it is conceivable that it was still known, even some 300+ years after the Resurrection events. This was a relatively small place in which amazing things happened. Surely word-of-mouth tradition, by Constantine's time, would have long held where the tomb was supposed to have been - even if only vaguely. Today, we often talk of things during the American revolution and its events - so, the events of Christ would have only been another 100 years or so longer. So, it wouldn't surprise me that the location was still known.
