The related web link gives a detailed account of the skirmish. It is said there is a stone monument at the site of the battle. I have seen a photo of the stone, but I do not know the exact location.
Marker erected: 1939.
Directions to marker: From I-85, take NC-49 (Maple Avenue) south about a mile to Anthony Road, and marker on the right, in front of an auto repair business.
