A rectangular platform mound near a known village site. This was a Mississippian village from the same time period of Cahokia and was probably a satellite community.
The village was originally situated on an island in the middle of a Mississippi River meander lake. Due to changes in lakeshore location, the site currently lies on the northeast shore of Horseshoe Lake. The location given here is approximate. A wooded copse may indicate the remnant of the mound, but the area is on private land off the public accessible Horseshoe Lake Recreation Area and may not be accessed. You may view the area from public roads to the east of the site.
