The Fox Farm Site encompasses the archaeological remains of a prehistoric Native American settlement near McMullin, Smyth County, Virginia.

Finds at the site include marine beadwork, indicating trade with natives living along the Atlantic coast, as well as pottery remains diagnostic of several regional cultures.[1]
