There is literally no such thing as energy not carried by a particle. What about potential energy? According to Newton gravitational potential energy E = mgh. Einstein's equations involve a slight modification for relativistic effects, but even here, in a static gravitational field there are no gravity waves, hence no exchange of gravitons. Potential energy is the representation of the negative work done by gravity on a body of mass which is being opposed by positive external work done on said body of mass, such as a ball being held on a mountain, tall building, rockets, a person or even the ball itself, i.e. inertia. The external positive force acts upon the the negative gravitational force creating an equilibrium. Technically, potential energy is represented as PE = -∆mgh (the delta symbol is important as it represents a change within a dynamic, not static, system). Also gravitons are still highly theoretical since they've not been detected so far.
