Awesome. Keep digging deep with the research. It will pay dividends in many ways.

Well I just heard back from the property owner today a very nice older woman and she said many people have inquired about the mound in fact she calls it the mound field the property has been in her family for many generations and the story she has gotten is that it is a glacial deposit,also artifacts have been found on and around it

[B.Rubble]

I just sent a letter out to the property owners I was able to get the address today I will let you know when I hear back from them

[B.Rubble]

No not yet still working on getting contact information

[Uncle Trav]

Any updates?

[B.Rubble]

It’s awesome I have found out a lot about the county I live in mounds, burial sites and camp sites that are just a few miles from my house that nobody knows about!

That square parchmark near the center of the mound that your line crosses through looks interesting.

[B.Rubble]

Yes I will, I was able to get property owners name today using county auditors website now I am trying to get address or phone number to see if they have any information on it

A mound that big may have had ditch and bank earthworks associated with it. Many large mound complexes had ditches to define the sacred area. Earth dug from the ditches was used to build up the mound so they fulfilled a dual purpose. Time and erosion has altered many ancient monuments to the point of being nearly unrecognizable. Stay on the search and please post what you turn up.

If it were a mound /man made then wouldn’t there be an adjacent hole 🕳 for something that large. Looks to be some small drainages /creeks. If that’s a sandy hill surrounded by gumbo then it’s definitely been used as a campsite 🏕
