Log Text: Site is equidistant from either the High Rock or Thurston St lots. From Thurston St, take Megley Trail about 3/4 of a mile. After you pass the side trail to Foxborough Standing Stone (2), take the next side trail for 50 ft east to the site which is on a flat ledge.
Foxborough Cairn

Site Type: Cairn
Country: United States
Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2016. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 4 Access 3
Foxborough Cairn submitted by stonetracker on 24th Jan 2023. The original published map showed a modern rock pile or cairn trail marker on a flat ledge. As of 2016, this was dismantled and re-built as a stone fire ring (shown in photo) with evidence of current use. So the original rock pile is gone.

Foster Mounds submitted by AKFisher on 5th Aug 2023.
Foster Mounds in Mississippi. The largest platform mound at the site has a late 1800s home on its summit. The mound was lowered and altered to accommodate the house. Excavation of a second mound at the site showed that the site was a village area in 500 BC.

Log Text: The site is largely as described and on private property in a residential area. I was lucky enough to bump into the landowner who said I could walk down his driveway to get a closer look at Mound A with his house on it. The mound is in very good condition. There is a flat area south of Mound A that obviously was part of the plaza.
Mound B is about a 200 yd walk south of and downhill from Mound A on the same side of Foster Mound Rd. It is fenced off but you can get within 100 yds of it. It is up on a bluff that borders St Catherine Creek and has suffered some erosion over the years. It is unclear at this point what the original shape of the mound was.
As for parking, there is no easy pulloff at Mound A, so I just parked in the Volunteer Fire Dept lot 100 yds north of Mound A and walked from there.

Log Text: A very tall, steep Middle Woodland mound located in Florence AL near the north banks of the Tennessee River. Originally there was an 8 foot semi-circular embankment around the mound, but it was destroyed in the 19th or 20th century. The mound is now in a heavily developed industrial area within a fenced area. An adjacent city-owned museum provides a wealth of information on the site.
The mound is located a short distance east of Route 72 on a side street right after you cross over the Tennessee River from south to north. A paved driveway leads to a small parking area right after the museum.
Five Kiva Pueblo Ruins

Five Kiva Pueblo Ruins submitted by stonetracker on 16th Jun 2025. View from the overlook of Five Kiva Pueblo on the other side of the canyon
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The site can be viewed remotely with binoculars or photo zoom from an overlook on the mesa top via a short path from the trail head. A number of web sites say that you can also hike an "easy" trail from this point down into the canyon floor and west up the other side to the alcove to get very close to the ruins. However if there was a single trail, it wasn't obvious to me. It was more of a steep scramble network of paths around boulders and ledges that I would rate as moderately difficult except maybe for a youngster ! In any case I didn't have the time and opted to stay at the overlook.
To get to the trail head from Blanding, take Route 191 from its junction with E 500 St south and take a right onto Ruins Rd. Follow Ruins Rd 1.7 miles to its unpaved dead end. There is a metal sign for the trailhead on the right with some rock steps and a pipe railing. The overlook is approximately 100 ft down the ledge.
Fitzhugh Mounds
Date Added: 12th Mar 2025
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (The South)

Fitzhugh Mounds submitted by AKFisher on 31st Jul 2023.
Archaeological reconstruction of the Fitzhugh Mound Complex in Louisiana from the mound encyclopedia. The elevated walkway (terrace) running from the right middle to the upper center was 2700-feet long and 75-feet wide. The large platform mound by it has a base of 250 x 160 feet and was 30-feet high. The site is dated to AD 1200 and only 2 mounds remain today.

Log Text: The site is very scenic, thus the Superb ambience rating. Unfortunately all that remains of the 7 mound site are two small mounds. The unusual elevated causeway is also long gone.
Mound D just so happens to now be the site of a still-used cemetery so I parked there. It is about 200 yds south of LA hwy 602 on a firm dirt road suitable for most vehicles. The interpretive signage is located a little farther south at the corner of Route 602 & Busby Rd.
False Kiva Rock Art

False Kiva Rock Art submitted by stonetracker on 2nd Jun 2025. A typical stick figure with splayed fingers, standing on a very long line.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: This site is a 1/4 mile one way hike up a rocky slope to the base of a cliff, with no more than 100 ft vertical gain.
The trail to False Kiva starts across the street from a large dirt parking lot variously known as the Amasa Back Trailhead, Hymasa Trailhead, or Capt Ahab area. The trailhead is unmarked and the trail often indistinct as it winds up the slope. See the Street View in comments for a photo of the route. Frankly it was easier just to pick my way around the rocks on the way up rather than try to find the specific trail. Your objective is the spot where the tallest cliff juts out to a point on the right. That is the location of False Kiva and petroglyphs.
To get to the Amasa Back Trailhead lot, follow Kane Creek/Kane Springs Blvd west out of Moab Center west and then southwest for about 5 miles total. For much of the way, you will be on the south side of the Colorado River, but eventually the road will turn to dirt and deviate southeast away from the river and then veer sharply southwest again. Amasa Back Trail lot is a large dirt parking area shortly after the southwest turn. The lot coordinates are 38.52829, -109.59634.
Evansville Mounds

Visited: Saw from a distance on 1st Feb 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3
Evansville Mounds submitted by stonetracker on 10th Mar 2024. My futile attempt to inconspicuously approach Mound B from the back, close enough for a photo. At the end my progress was thwarted by a nettle-infested bayou. There are some things we won't cross !
The mound is currently only 2-3 ft high. A nearly 100 year old abandoned schoolhouse sits on top.

Log Text: Parking pulloff is on Austin Rd, which is 200-300 yds north of Mounds A and B, although B is at the closer end of the range. Entire site is on private farm property so viewing is from a distance. Unobstructed view of A if you walk down the street 200 ft, but trees obscure B and require bushwhacking on private property to see even partially. I was unable to spot Mound C, if it indeed still exists. Interpretive sign is intact.

Log Text: This is a so-called Chaco canyon outlier great house site built in the 1100s CE. It is accessible via a 1/4 to 1/2 Mile hike up a hill behind the Canyons of the Ancients Museum. Those like me who live close to sea level may want to take it easy with high elevation trail walking at first until they get acclimated. The trail is switch backed with benches, great views, and good interpretation of local flora. The entire route is paved to the top and likely wheelchair accessible.

Log Text: Er-Grah Tumulus is one of a triad of major Neolithic sites in Locmariaquer, all accessed via a visitor's center/museum for a small admission fee (although on the day I visited, the entry fee was waived for some reason). Plenty of parking is available in an adjacent gravel lot. The original burial vault and tumulus were built very gradually in several stages over the course of the 5th millenium BCE. It was subjected to significant and often harsh damage over the centuries since and what you see today is a complete modern restoration. Wide gravel paths flank the tumulus closely, but the cairn and vault are off-limits and not accessible.

Log Text: As noted by others, Er-Lannic is a bird sanctuary and access to the island is forbidden. I went on the combo trip that included the full Gavrinis tour and a boat circuit of Er-Lannic. However I quickly discovered the limits of a smartphone camera to take decent telephoto shots and most of the photos already here are far better than mine. I'll add a few, but pretty limited.

Elkhorn Plantation Mound submitted by AKFisher on 3rd Aug 2023.
The Elkhorn Plantation Mound on the official Louisiana Ancient Mound Trail. It was constructed in 450 AD and inhabited until around AD 1100. The area was discovered with pottery strewn around everywhere indicating a large habitation area. The erosion by farming is evident.

Log Text: Elkhorn, a single mound site on private land, is about a mile or so north of Frogmore Mound on Dunbarton Rd (Route 566). The mound is in a vast cultivated field about 100 ft east of the road. There are no shoulders or designated pulloffs, so I parked on a nearby field road and walked a short distance to the mound from there. In late winter, nothing is planted yet and the place was deserted, so there was little risk of being "caught." ;-)
Effigy Mounds National Monument

Effigy Mounds National Monument submitted by AKFisher on 26th Jul 2023. 1970s aerial photo of the Marching Bear Group at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa. A group of college students outlined the effigy mounds with agricultural lime before the National Park Service took this photo. These are thought to have been made around AD 500.

Log Text: I visited in the heat of summer and opted not to attempt the steep climb to the mounds in the north or south unit of the park, but instead visited the park museum and tried some easier alternatives nearby.
There is a not very well known unit of the park called Sny Magill that contains over 100 effigy mounds and is located well south of the south unit. It is at the end of a gravel access road, accessed via a short trail from a boat ramp on the Mississippi. This site has the advantage of no climbing because it is located nearly at the level of the river. Unfortunately, the access road is prone to flooding and was closed that day. Will return at another time.

Log Text: Description of the site is accurate. Mound A is the only one of the three that is easily accessible - right next to the paved road, a cemetery, and the interpretive sign in a pullout area. A vacant church is located 100 yds to the west. Mounds B and C are well northwest of Mound A and much closer to a levee that was built next to what is now a tributary or oxbow of the Mississippi R. Both are on posted private land in wooded areas that block easy viewing. I was unable to locate Mound B, but may have seen Mound C from a considerable distance.

Log Text: This site is a combination museum and partially excavated Ancestral Pueblo Great House. It has been designated Edge of the Cedars State Park. The museum and grounds have outstanding displays describing the prehistory of not only southeastern Utah but the surrounding regions. Excavated artifacts, especially pottery and ceramics, are a standout feature of the facility.
I believe the museum has access for disabled visitors. The excavated great house is in the rear of the building. The major structures are connected by paved pathways and excellent interpretation. It also features a small kiva that you can climb into and that has been restored to nearly original condition.
The site is in Blanding UT. To get there from Route 191 which goes through the city center, drive west on West Center St for about 0.5 mile. Turn right onto N 600 W St. In 0.4 mile, turn left onto W 400 N St. In 200 ft, turn right. The museum is another 200 ft on the left.
