Log Text: From a parking area, you'll need to walk nearly a mile (one way) over a saddleback to where the structure stands on a flat area on the slope of the mountain. The walk is on a graveled roadway, and is not difficult. However, be prepared for wind, sun, and the altitude, which can be taxing for many people.

Log Text: Used the mound as a backdrop for a series of photographs I took leading up to the total solar eclipse at 1318, 21 Aug 2017. On a previous visit it appeared that a farm road north of the mound was the closest access point (one could drive as far as the railroad,) but the county road south of the mound is a far better view point.

Old Stone Fort submitted by bat400 on 30th Jul 2006. Entrance to "Old Stone Fort."
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. You can see the back wall of the entry "room." These enclosure walls were much higher when first built. Portions of the ground were paved as for a walkway.

Russell Cave submitted by bat400 on 30th Jul 2006. Occupied for 9000 years. The twin entrances to Russell Cave, Jackson County, Alabama. The large entrance shelter is at right; a boardwalk prevents erosion and damage. A portion of the sheltered area was excavated to a depth of 40 feet, showing artifacts from human use all the way down. 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
