This rectangular platform mound, 175 feet across at the base and about 22 feet high, was built and used during the Mississippian period, between 1000 and 1300 A.D. Remains of a mud-plastered log-post building have been found on top of the mound. This structure was probably used as a ceremonial temple or as a residence of a chief. An extensive former village area surrounds the mound. The site has been incorporated into a roadside park.

On U.S. Highway 49 at the town of Pocahontas, about nine miles north of the Jackson, Mississippi, interchange of U.S. 49 and I-220. Open to the public daily dawn to dusk, free of charge.
