Originally a linear embankment lay to the south and east of this mound. A graded pathway with embankments on both sides lay to the northwest, to a square enclosure of just under 30 acres with entrances and opposing mounds. This enclosure, with its openings and opposing mounds was similar to the architecture still seen at the Newark Octagon. Unfortunately, nothing remains of these associated earthworks today.
Part of the Marietta Earthworks Complex, Marietta city boundary off 5th street..
