From Uniontown take Morgantown road  (Rt. 119) south toward Morgantown.  Turn onto Collier road about ¼ mile past Tent Church.  In about 4 miles there is a sharp right turn in the road.  About ½ mile past the sharp turn there is the Hallam Lighthouse Mission on the right.  The stones are at the edge of the woods at the rear of the lawn.  My guess is that the  stones are not in original position but moved for convenience to cut grass.  Recorded June 5, 2005.
