This is one of a number of smaller Mississippian ceremonial mound sites that were likely constructed after the large Winterville site. It is not on the Mississippi Mound Trail but is designated as an "Indian Mound" on USGS topo maps.
As with many of these more modest late Mississippian sites in the Yazoo basin, this site is located close to Deer Creek. It is in the Lake George Phase of the Mississippian period which dates it between 1350-1500 CE.
Metcalfe once consisted of four mounds, but it appears that only one exists today. It is on private land.
