Take Exit # 300 South from the Tom Bradshaw Freeway (Hwy. 440-40) onto Rock Quarry Rd. (SR #2542). Go about 1/4 mile and you will pass Southgate Plaza Shopping Center, cor. Crosslink & Rock Quarry, on your right as you head south. The next right turn after that is Lyndhurst Drive which borders the church property. Parking is available.

This cemetery is located on the grounds of the Macedonia Church, at 2004 Rock Quarry Rd., Raleigh, NC, and it is abandoned and no longer in use. I was not able to find out the history of this cemetery. It may be a family cemetery which was not used for very many years.

I walked this cemetery on Mar 02, 2006, when I compiled the transcription, I compared with the notes of Ann Brosnahan, sometimes verifying a difficult stone to read.
