type: Dataset
description: More Metadata Historic cemeteries and burial grounds are fragile, tangible heritage resources that connect residents and visitors to their Loudoun roots.

The locations are only as accurate as the locational information submitted to the Site File by the site recorder. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified. The absence of a cultural resource in this data layer does not preclude the existence of an unrecorded resource in the field. The ceme…
