Another interesting walk is along the Opelofa Nature Trail, which takes off from the main walking trail and winds through the lowlands of Inut Creek. Cornfield Mound was originally about 8 feet high. Under it archeologists found signs of a cultivated field, which is something of a puzzle because Mississippian agricultural fields usually lay in bottomlands. The mound itself was probably a platform for a ceremonial building. Prehistoric trenches - Two lines of ditches varying in width and depth have been traced around the east side of the village.
Some sections are parallel and lined with clay.
The ditches may have been defensive or they may have been borrow pits sources of fill for constructing mounds. Trading post - English traders from Charleston, eager to do business with the Creeks, built the first trading post on this site about 1690. They traded firearms, cloth, and trinkets for deerskins and furs. Excavations have turned up all sorts of goods, including axes, clay pipes, beads, knives, swords, bullets, flints, and pistols and muskets. Mounds - Relatively little is known about these mounds except that they were topped by rectangular wooden structures that were probably used for important religious ceremonies.
