The Berry Cemetery Mound is listed as one of the smaller satellite village sites built during the Parkin phase of the Late Mississippian period (1400-1700 CE). Most of these village sites are located along either the St. Francis or Tyronza Rivers.
Note: The paramount mound site is located at Parkin Archaeological Park near the confluence of these two rivers.
Most but not all of these smaller sites had at least one mound, a habitation area, and a surrounding palisade and moat. Although I do not have definitive proof, I believe the Berry Cemetery Mound matches the approximate location shown on maps and is the only "moundlike" feature that I know of in the immediate area.
It is a low mound in a farm field with a historic cemetery on top.
