The base of the 15-feet high mound measures approximately 60 by 100 feet. These mounds mark the sites of the more important towns and villages of this time. Artifacts and other archaeological evidence in the area reveal a village which included 40 to 60 acres. Curren said the site is a likely candidate for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, but subsurface testing and other assessment would be necessary to determine eligibility. Archeology Inc. is seeking grants for such a study.
Plans are for the site to be left untouched, until archeological work can be scheduled.
