Artificial Mound in The South
From Wikipedia:
The Chickasawba Mound, designated by the Smithsonian trinomial 3M55, is an archaeological site in Blytheville, Arkansas. It encompasses the remains of a modest Nodena phase town, with a ceremonial mound and evidence of occupation during the 16th century. The site is one of the best-preserved Nodena sites in the region.[2] The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1] The site derives its name from Chickasawba, a chief of the Shawnee tribe, said to have been buried at the foot of the mound.[3]

The 1899 article also claims, "an excavation in or near Chickasawba mound revealed a portion of a gigantic human skeleton - the man to whom it belongs could not have been less than eight or nine feet tall" and that similar skeletons have been found in the neighborhood of the mound.
