Ancient Village or Settlement in McIntosh County, Georgia.
Shell mounds, Ancient settlement.

This Archiac site on Sapelo Island is dated to ~2100 BC. Three shell mound rings mark the site of an early settlement. The largest ring is more than 200 feet in diameter. Because of their irregularity and a lack of astronomical alignments, these rings are assumed to be an artifact of ancient "housekeeping."

The location is general for the island itself. Lost Worlds Georgia
