Arundell/Davis Family Cemetery

"Brimstone Hill", 6801 Ox Rd., Fairfax Station, Va.

"Brimstone Hill", built early 1800's, was in the Arundell Family as early as 1822. The cemetery, located about 150' east of the house, has been completely cleared and graded by the current owners, thereby obliterating all surface evidence of unmarked burials. A rectangular bed of gravel (@12' x 20') has been laid and eight marble headstones and their footstones have been laid flat in three neat rows. Two sandstone bases (probably for the JULIA ARUNDELL and HUGH M. DAVIS stones) and about 10" of the bottom portion of the ANN V. DAVIS stone (which had been set in cement) are sitting by a fence @25' north of the other gravestones. There are two fragments of marble that do not obviously correspond to any of the stones, too. The owner has planted evergreen trees all around the area. The yard around the house is very well maintained, but area immediately beyond the graveled plot is grown up with tall grass.
