Ozier Mound sits on the north-west side of Pinson Mound Complex. It has a base diameter of 260 feet and rises to 33 feet as the second tallest mound in the complex next to the centre mound (Saul's mound). Robert Mainfort was the one who pointed out the astronomical alignment of Ozier mound when he discovered that the ramp on the north-east side was a few degrees from a perfect alignment with summer solstice sunrise.
