Log Text: Thurston St lot the best for access. A bit of a long hike on the first side trail heading east off of Megley Trail, but one plus is that the same trail brings you right by several other sites. Last bit is a 200-300 ft bushwhack into woods and the enclosure is not easily spotted from a distance.

Log Text: Site L on published map. Best accessed via a long walk on a side trail east from Megley. The side trailhead is not far from the Thurston St lot. The standing stone is small, slightly off the trail, and rather inconspicuous.



Foxborough Prayer Seat (10)

Date Added: 24th Jan 2023
Site Type: Cairn Country: United States
Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2

Foxborough Prayer Seat (10)

Foxborough Prayer Seat (10) submitted by stonetracker on 24th Jan 2023. This is a rather damaged U-shaped enclosure that utilizes an outcrop for its back wall. It is unclear whether the stones were placed by man or nature, but they do have what looks like a deliberate arrangement.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)

Log Text: Site Y on published map. Trail access and parking is the same as Foxborough Prayer Seat 3. The site is 400-500 ft SE of the latter, on an outcrop in relatively open woods. A bit difficult to spot.

Foxborough Cairn

Date Added: 24th Jan 2023

Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2016. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 4 Access 3

Foxborough Cairn

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.

River View Cemetery Mounds

River View Cemetery Mounds submitted by stonetracker on 22nd Oct 2023. Main mound with signage.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)

Log Text: Visited late Oct 2023. Main mound easily accessible in a traffic circle about 200 yds past the cemetery entrance. I was unable to positively locate the other mound (Lochry Massacre Mound) although I did locate the monument commemorating that historical event.

Log Text: There is a parking pulloff on US Route 61 with site interpretation. However, the mounds are not walking-accessible from Route 61 and two of them (A and D) can only be viewed at a long distance from that highway (the remaining mounds were destroyed some time ago). It may be possible to see the same mounds at much closer range via back roads and a rail line, but I did not investigate.



Bayou Pierre Mounds

Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3

Bayou Pierre Mounds

Bayou Pierre Mounds submitted by AKFisher on 10th Aug 2023. Sole surviving mound at the Bayou Pierre site in Mississippi. It is a 16-ft high platform mound constructed in AD 1000.

Photo courtesy Dr Greg Little, author of the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Native American Indian Mounds & Earthworks (2016).

Log Text: When the leaves are off the trees, Mound A is visible about 100 yds NE of the site parking pulloff on Old Mill Rd. In other seasons, it is walking accessible via an abandoned road about 100-200 yds S of the pulloff.

I was unable to locate Mound B as described, so it has likely eroded past the point of surface recognition. Mound D is located about 1/2 mile away, but I did not have a definitive location and did not try to find it.

Log Text: This site has dedicated parking lot rather than a simple pulloff. The lot is just south of the main road and Mound A is right next to it (west of lot). Virtually drive by access when leaves are off the trees and a very short walk when they aren't.

Didn't have time to visit any of the other mounds, which are a forest hike from the lot. Next time. ;-)

Mounds (Indiana) - Great Mound

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. Photo: bat400 Oct 2006.

Log Text: Visited late Oct 2023. This earthwork remains relatively unchanged since the original description was written. See my comments for changes that have taken place and some clarifications.

Hodgen's Cemetery Mound

Hodgen's Cemetery Mound submitted by AKFisher on 20th Oct 2023. Hodgen's Cemetery Mound in Tiltonsville, Ohio. It is an Adena burial mound generally dated to 500 BC-AD 500. In the mid-1800s locals started using the mound as a cemetery, which saved the mound from excavations.
