Directions: From intersection of US Hwy 52 and NC Hwy 268 in Pilot Mtn, go south on US Hwy 52 for 5 miles and take the Pinnacle exit. At stop sign, turn right on Perch road and go 1.45 miles. Then turn right on Stony Ridge Rd and go 2.8 miles until it dead ends into Shoals Road. Then turn left on Shoals Road and go about 2.4 miles until you get to Butner Road which is just past the old Shoals Baptist Church cemetery on the right. Turn right on Butner Road and go about 0.6 miles and turn right on John Mickles Road. Then go about 0.2 miles and turn left on All Seasons Lane which is a dirt road. After about 50 yards pull over and park on the right on what was once an old tobacco road. Follow that road into the woods for about 200 yards and the unknown graves are up on a bank looking to the northwest. There are 15-20 rough hewn field stones or those from slate all standing upright without any names or carvings. Mr. Mack Mickels showed Bob Carter the graves and said the cemetery might have been for native Indians but has never known cemetery to have a name.
