The church/cemetery is southeast of the community of Fountain, Monroeville postal zone. From Monroeville take Highway 41 north. Turn left (west) at Hixon Road (also known as Snyder Quarters Road) through Fountain. Cross the rail lines and the cemetery is 1.6 miles on the left side of the road. Another direct route is to follow Hwy-84 from Monroeville through Purdue Hill. At the Lena Landeeger Highway turn right and follow to Fountain and its intersection with Hwy-41. Turn right onto Hwy-41, go under the RR trestle and up a long hill, turn right onto Hixon Road - stay on Hixon to the church/cemetery. From Grove Hill follow Hwy-84 until you cross the Alabama River. Turn left onto the Lena Landeeger Highway (pass the Alabama River Cellulose Plant) and follow the above instructions to Fountain.

This is an African-American cemetery, large and spacious. There are some 20 gravesites marked but the individuals are not identified. There is also evidence that not all the gravesites are included in the general area as a few headstones are located at the edge of the pine forest. The cemetery is large and well maintained, the area extending from roadside on the east to an area behind the church - also arranged in an east to west fashion. While the historical record shows the name to be pronounced as two words, "Carry Mount," the actual name is one word, "Carrymount."
