Date Added: 12th Sep 2010

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.

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 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.

Prehistoric, but not attributted to a particular culture. This is a reconstruction to restore the original 1870's survey height of the mound (6 feet.) The figures at the left, beyond the mound are a bit taller than 5 feet.
