Middle Mississippian (1000AD - 1400AD). The site is owned by the state, but lies in the middle of privately owned farm land. The mound can be viewed from the county roads to the north, east, and south of the mound. There is a hint of a rise SW of the mound in the plowed fields - its difficult to tell if this might be other earthworks, now much reduced. A National Register of Historic Places site.
