Located off Henry Harris Road, east of US 521, Indian Land, Lancaster County, South Carolina.

This cemetery is located off Henry Harris Road which runs parallel to US 521 for about 7 miles on the east side. The words on all but five are illegible. The death dates seem to run from late 1700s to 1842. It contains veterans' graves from both the American Revolution and the War of 1812.

The oldest known tombstone in Old Six Mile Cemetery is that of Col. John William Hagins (1727-1790). Hagins served under Thomas Sumter at the Battle of Hanging Rock. His headstone, featuring crossed sabers, had been lost for about 16 years. Colonel Hagins lived on Tar Kiln Branche, which empties into Six Mile Creek. Until the 1880s, Six Mile Cemetery served as the community's burial ground, no matter the person's church affiliation.
