Toltec Mounds - Embankment
Toltec Mounds - Embankment submitted by bat400 : Remaining portion of the Embankment at the Toltec Mounds site. This can be made out, barely, through the trees. Unfortunately, it is not accessible to a visitor. Photo by bat400, April 2007. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Misc. Earthwork in Lonoke County, Arkansas.
An outer ditch and inner embankment made of ditch spoil and capped with a protective layer of clay. It surrounded the Toltec Mound site on three sides and portions of it may have been dug to enlarge a filled-in meander channel that already existed when the site was occupied.

In the 1880's the embankment was still 8 - 10 feet high, but has been plowed down in the years since. The embankment is only a visible feature in a few spots around the site today, although excavations indicate that evidence verifying the historic record. One section is found to the visitor's near left on entering the site from the visitor's center - and another much larger section, around 6 feet high with a ditch that holds water during part of the year, lies in the wooded portion on the south side of the sight.
As the embankment is low and no evidence of a fence has been found. There is an assumption that this was a ceremonial boundary. The location given is for the smaller section.
