From NC561 in Centerville, in northeastern Franklin County, take NC1436 (Laurel Mill Road) west for 4.5 miles to Neal Road (a private dirt road). The mark is on the northwest side of Laurel Mill Road, between the ditch and a fence.

It is 26.3 feet NW of the centerline of the road, and 4.6 feet south-southeast of a fence post with an aluminum reference tag. The coordinates are exact, so a GPS unit will take you directly to the spot. The disk is recessed slightly in grass behind some rural mailboxes.

This mark was set in the year 2000. It does not appear in the database of geocaching.com.
