The University of Alabama conducted excavations of the mound and determined that it was originally built between AD 100 and 500, during the Middle Woodland period. These investigations also found that 1,000 years later, people associated with the Mississippian Stage added more earth to the summit and continued to use the mound as a cultural center.
The mound is located in a park, which also features a museum.
