Mounds State Park (Indiana) - Earthwork D
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Oct 2006
Mounds (Indiana) - Earthwork D submitted by bat400 on 23rd Oct 2006. Mounds - Earthwork D.
"Lost" until 1988 when underbrush was removed from the site. Woods now block a clear view between the Great Mound and the center of this smaller, now shallow earthwork. The winter solstice sunset falls beyond the center of this enclosure when viewed from the center of the Great Mound. The forest debris slowly filled in the ditch within the outer embankment ring.

Mounds (Indiana) - Earthwork B submitted by bat400 on 23rd Oct 2006. Mounds - Earthwork B.
The earthwork is oval, with an "entrance" on each end, and very small, only 8-9 feet long. It is in the immediate foreground, only an indentation. The Great Mound can be seen in the background, behind the rail fence.

Mounds (Indiana) - Great Mound
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Henge
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)

Mounds (Indiana) - Great Mound submitted by bat400 on 22nd Oct 2006. Mounds - The Great Mound.
View from the east with wild asters, the last flower of the season. The outer embankment wall prevents an outside viewer from seeing the central platform within. The exceptions are three dips in the embankment allowing a line of sight to the centers of three smaller earthwork enclosures surrounding the Great Mound.

Newark Earthworks - Octagon
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 25th Nov 2007
Newark Earthworks - Octagon submitted by bat400 on 25th Nov 2007. This photo was taken from the observing platform that is set on the east side of the connecting "road" between the circle and octagon in the "Octagon" earthwork site. Looking southwest toward the circle. As you can see, the enclosures are far too large to get a good idea of the geometry without actually walking the site.
