Directions: From Savannah city limits, west to 71 Highway and north on 71 Highway a total of 9 miles to County Road 54. Travel west on County Road 54 for 1 mile to RD 38. Travel south on RD 38 for 0.2 miles to gates on the east side of the road. Cemetery is approximately 0.1 mile east through the pasture in direct line with gate.

Notes: A few stones from this cemetery were extant in the 1970s, but the area has been bull-dozed since, and no stones remain in 2006. A man who formerly owned the property said that the burial ground was about a 30-foot circle. Slaves or African-Americans were buried just over the crest of the hill, looking north.
