Angel mounds - Mound G submitted by bat400 : Mound G - Angel Mounds, Vanderburgh County, Indiana Conical Earthwork Mound from the Woodland period.

Artificial Mound in Vanderburgh County, Indiana
Mound G - Angel Mounds,
Conical Earthwork Mound. Woodland period.

The mound is conical. When measured by surveyors in 1805, it was measured at nearly 200 feet in diameter and 25 feet high. Its size is not much diminished.

This mound lies outside the town stockade of Angel Mounds, and is estimated to be much older, probably from the Woodland period (500 BC to 500 AD.) It's never been systematically excavated although looters and the just plain curious have dug small holes into it over the years. The mound is directly on the city street and was completely accessible until a few years ago when a short fence was put up to provide a psychological barrier if nothing else.

The photo shows that right now that fence is down to allow fallen trees from tornado damage to be cleared.

Re: Angel Mounds - Mound G by Anonymous on Sunday, 05 January 2014
When I lived in Newburgh in the early 70's, this mound was outside the Angel Mounds site, and was completely unprotected -- I actually rode my Hodaka 100 dirt bike to the top of it. Even then it struck me as odd, since the Angel Mounds park was developed and protected, and this was obviously part of the mound complex.

"Beehive" Mound Re: Angel Mounds - Mound G by bat400 on Tuesday, 18 July 2006

An alternate name for this mound was the "Beehive" Mound. Whether this is from its shape or from hives on or near the site, I do not know. (Name found in a 1940's WPA guide to Indiana.)
