This cemetery is on the edge of the road in a field. It is no longer in use but cared for. Looking on down Woodland Church from the cemetery, you can see the Granville County sign on the far side of the intersection with Camp Kanata Road, and across from the intersection is Woodland Baptist Church. The path next to the cemetery leads to the old Allen farm house which is no longer lived in.
