Artificial Mound in Sebastian County, Arkansas.A flat topped artificial mound in Sebastian County, Arkansas. 200 feet long and 40 feet high, the mound now has earth removed on one side. Attributed to direct ancestors of the Caddo people, the mound was likely built sometime between 1100AD and 1300AD. A historic cemetery plot was made on the top level of the mound.
The site was recently purchased by The Archaeological Conservancy, and although it is not accessible to the public today, discussion is on-going for restoring the original shape of the mound and creating a park with informative signs.
Note: Archaeological Conservancy purchases most intact Prehistoric Mound in northwest Arkansas.
