Directions: from Cary, take Green Level Church Rd north. About 50 feet before getting to Kit Creek there is an old trail going east up the hill. About a 500 feet up the trail is a fenced-in area with a Beebee tombstone near the middle. It is on the left side of this trail. This cemetery is west of Hwy 55 and north of O'Kelly Chapel Road, and east of Green Level Church road and south of Kit Creek.

This cemetery is in a wooded area with no house or building nearby. It is fenced with a decorative wire fence about twenty feet square. There is one tombstone with two names. There are three metal funeral markers, unreadable. There are several depressions where people are buried, and the back side has possibly older burials.
