Twin earthen mounds flanked a rectangular earth and stone work enclosure. This enclosure opened into the interior of the "Fort" to the left at the far end.

Russell Cave submitted by bat400 on 30th Jul 2006. Occupied for 9000 years. The twin entrances to Russell Cave, Jackson County, Alabama.

Dry Creek runs into the entrance at left, and showing the current stream bed to be a good 20 feet lower than the current cave floor in the sheltered, dry area. Photo by bat400, July 13, 2006

Tusayan Ruins submitted by bat400 on 6th Aug 2006. Large Kiva at Tusayan Ruins, Coconino County, Arizona.

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) - 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.
