We can't know for sure, because he never tells us. Mormon, Moroni's father, says in Mormon 6:6 that he buried most of the plates in the hill Cumorah then gave the rest of the plates to Moroni. Moroni could have gone back to get them and then buried them in another spot, or he could have compiled them all at the same spot. We also can't know if the Book of Mormon hill Cumorah is the same as the hill in upstate New York where Joseph Smith discovered the plates, or if the plates were moved there at some point during the 1400 years between when they were buried and when Joseph Smith recieved them. It is all a matter of speculation and personal opinion.
Since the location of where the plates were buried has absolutely no bearing on salvation, truth, or doctrine of any kind, the Church will likely never seek to define an exact location. It is extremely unlikely that someone might recieve revelation as to where the plates were buried as well, as revelation typically only has to do with matters of salvation.
