| Pinson Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Apr 2024 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Visited the Central or Inner section only. There's a lot to see here in this section alone if you include all of the mounds, habitation areas, other non-mound sites. It took me 3 hrs just to cover all of the Central area not including the museum. Most features with some exceptions are accessible via... Read More |

| Shiloh Indian Mounds | Ancient Village or Settlement | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Apr 2024 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The mound site is very compact and easily accessible along a National Park Service road or via a foot trail. Park at either the Shiloh Indian Mounds Visitor Kiosk or in a paved pullout area next to Mound F. The latter is the closest to the mound and plaza complex itself and most of the mounds are wi...

| Alligator Mounds (Clarksdale) | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Apr 2024 | 3 | 3 | Although there is no official parking pulloff, the road has enough shoulder to pull partially off it opposite Mound B. Mound B and C are clearly visible in a field behind a wire fence. Mound A is mostly blocked from view. Mounds D and E are in the middle of cultivated land and I was unable to defini... Read More |

| Ingomar Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Apr 2024 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Most of this Middle Woodland site, once comprising 13 mounds and a palisade, was destroyed by cultivation. Was only able to find Mound 1 (a small burial mound only visible as a slight rise) and Mound 14 (a large rectangular platform mound in good condition).
All publicly accessible with parking ... Read More |

| Batesville Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Apr 2024 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Visited twice in April 2024. This site is in a well maintained park, funded by both the town and state. Excellent interpretation and a paved walkway that allows disabled access to Mounds A-C. Mound D and the habitation areas require a further walk on an unpaved woods trail. Plenty of parking. | ||
| Christmas Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Apr 2024 | 3 | 3 | Mound is as described about 200 yds east of the parking pulloff in a private cultivated area. Only remote viewing is possible. | |||
| Fort Hill Sharpening Stone | Polissoir | United States | New England | Visited | 4 | 4 | 4 | Site is maintained by the Cape Cod National Seashore unit of the NPS and accessible by foot trail from either Hemenway Rd or the Fort Hill area. The trail from Hemenway is paved and therefore disabled access is possible. Rock and markings in very good condition. | |||
| Carson Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 4 | One of the most impressive Early Mississippian sites anywhere in the US, let alone MS. Outside of the Lake George (Holly Bluff) site, it is likely the largest Native American mound site in the state, covering over a mile of terrain that once hosted over 80 mounds, an earthen enclosure, and a large v...

| Alcorn Cemetery Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Can park off road in a grassy pulloff area, at least in the winter. Cemetery is about a 100 yd walk. | ||
| Commerce Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Saw from a distance | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | This is on a large private farm with no close access and no safe on-street parking. There are private pkg lots across the main paved road about 1000 ft from the site where remote viewing is possible with some walking. | ||||
| Richard's Bridge | Ancient Village or Settlement | United States | The South | Saw from a distance | 1st Feb 2024 | Saw from the road. The village is now in a cultivated field. The original mound was destroyed when the paved road was built. | |||||
| Parkin | Ancient Village or Settlement | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Well preserved Late Mississippian village and mound site with a nice museum. A paved trail provides good access to and interpretation of all cultural features at the site, including historic features. Appears to be fully accessible to disabled visitors. | ||
| Berry Cemetery Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 2 | 3 | There is no official parking for this site. On-street only. The mound is very visible about 100 yds from the road in a private farm field. | |||
| Dunn Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Saw from a distance | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 3 | All of the mounds are on private residential property and farm land, so viewing is only possible from a distance. There is a parking pulloff next to the interpretive sign about 200 yds north of Mound A and considerably farther away from the other mounds.
Mound A is easily visible although quite... Read More |
|||
| Barbee Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 4 | 4 | 5 | The single conical mound is walk-up accessible and well maintained. Park in the cemetery. | ||
| Salomon Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Saw from a distance | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 3 | Site is mostly as described, in a private farm field. There is a parking pulloff and interpretive signage about 100-200 yds from Mound A, which is about as close as you can legally approach (No Trespassing signs make that clear!) . Mound C is just SW of Mound A. So close that past researchers have o... Read More |
|||
| West Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 3 | Mounds A, B, and C are in reasonable shape and visible. There is no official parking pulloff or signage, but there are shoulders nearby where you can get at least partially off the road.
Mounds A and B face each other directly across the paved public road. Mound C is a few hundred yds south in a... Read More |
|||
| Beaverdam Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 3 | This site is within a mile of the Evansville Mound site. There is a parking pulloff about 500 ft south of Mound A, which lies in a cultivated private field bordering Beaverdam Lake. Visibility is unobstructed, but I was unable to spot the much-reduced Mound B to the south of it.
The usual interpr... Read More |
|||
| Evansville Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Saw from a distance | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 3 | 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 ... Read More |
|||
| Johnson Cemetery Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 4 | 4 | There is a parking pulloff within 150 ft of the mound. Mound is in good condition and there is at least one grave visible in the surface from the Afro American cemetery. Interpretive sign did not fare as well. The post is bent at an acute angle, obviously hit or vandalized by someone. | ||
| Cheatham Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | Very little information out there, but this is listed as a known single-mound Walls phase site. The only reasonable, safe parking was about 1/2 mile west of the site in a nearby cemetery. The mound appears to be fairly intact but impossible to confirm from this distance. | |||||
| Hollywood Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 3 | Mound A, the largest, and three much smaller boundary mounds to the north of it are all located in a wooded area on private farm property several 100 yds north of the pullout area on the paved rd. This is as close as you can get (legally). All remaining boundary mounds and the three mounds to the ea... Read More |
|||
| Chucalissa Prehistoric Indian Village | Museum | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Site is as described including the Nash Museum. Some additional notes:
* The temple mound appears to be partially reconstructed, not unusual for mound builder sites. In particular, a tan clay facing has been applied to the front of the mound. It is thought that this is the way it appeared in late... Read More |
||
| Edgefield Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 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 t... Read More |
||
| Chickasaw Heritage Park | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Feb 2024 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Site remains as described. The only change I noticed was the tunnel leading to the Civil War magazine in the mound next to the river has been bricked up and blocked. | ||
| New Castle Complex | Henge | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 2 | 2 | 3 | Parking is in a lot on Route 103 south of the Little Blue River just across from the old paved hospital access road, now abandoned and gated, but open to hiking. The grounds comprising the complex are now owned by the Wilbur Wright Fish and Wildlife Area. The old paved hospital road leads to the sec... Read More |
|||
| Windsor Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 5 | 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... Read More |
|||
| Bayou Pierre Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 3 | 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 po... Read More |
|||
| Glass Mounds (Mississippi) | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 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 m... Read More |
||||
| Haynes Bluff Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 5 | Mound A is right next to a road pulloff near a large pulp and paper facility. Mound C, at the junction of a railroad line and the same road, has been damaged by the tracks which cut partially through it. It is about 500 ft south of Mound A. The two remaining mounds are gone. | |||
| Aden Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 5 | There is a parking pulloff next to the farm field where the mounds are located. The closest mound is about 100 ft from the historical marker. Both mounds degraded but clearly visible. | |||
| Cary Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 4 | Mound is in a residential neighborhood. Can park at the historical marker and walk 100 ft to the mound base. | |||
| Rolling Fork Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 2 | 2 | In late Oct 2023, I attempted to find these mounds by walking west from a car pulloff on Rte 61 and also north from a field road next to two brick silos. I did not attempt to walk in east from Parkway Rd, which as Dr. Little's photos suggest, may provide easier access to Mound B. The entire area was... Read More |
||||
| Carter Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 5 | Can drive to within 100 ft of Mound B (Mound A is 100 ft behind B and to its right). Parking is available in a pulloff next to the historical marker. | |||
| Law Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | Visited Oct 2023. Spotted Mound A as described, about 1000 ft south of the Yazoo Refuge Rd in a cultivated field with no public access. The two remaining mounds appear to be gone. | ||||
| Anguilla Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 5 | Visited in Oct 2023. Site on private property in a residential neighborhood about 100 yds from the road and sign. Easily viewed from the street. | |||
| Swan Lake Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 3 | 3 | Visited in late Oct 2023. The mounds are in the Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge, which is publicly accessible. Access roads in the refuge vary from very rough gravel (eastern side) to some paved (western side). Approaching from Foote village on the western side via the refuge road is probably the lea...

| Mounds (Indiana) - Circle Mound | Misc. Earthwork | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 4 | 4 | 4 | Visited in late Oct 2023. There is parking nearby at the Woodland Shelter (see park map) and a short walk across a mowed field to the site. | |||
| Windsor Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 3 | Visited in late Oct 2023. The mound is on private land (no access) in a wooded area at the rear of a cultivated field, approximately 200-300 yds north of the road. There are no parking pulloffs, but it is in a relatively unpopulated area with no traffic. | |||||
| Cambridge City Henge Complex | Henge | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | In a late Oct 2023 visit I was unable to spot the henges at either the stated location or in the general vicinity, which is in a cultivated field on private property approximately 200-300 yds north of Goose Heaven Rd near the junction of N. Cambridge Rd. It has either eroded away to the point of no ... Read More |
||||||
| Arcola Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 3 | 4 | 5 | Visited this site again in late Oct 2023. No changes but managed to take photos/videos from a better angle to view all three mounds. | |||
| Mounds State Park (Indiana) - Earthwork D | Misc. Earthwork | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 3 | 3 | 3 | Visited in late Oct 2023. This is ~ 150 yds or so southwest of the Great Mound, about 100 ft NE off of a side trail. Requires a bit more walking than the other earthworks closer to the Great Mound. | |||
| Mounds (Indiana) - Fiddleback Mound | Misc. Earthwork | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 3 | 4 | 3 | Visited in late Oct 2023. Ditch, embankment, and middle "pinch points" clearly visible. The earthwork is just to the west of the Great Mound and easily accessed via trail. | |||
| Mounds (Indiana) - Earthwork B | Misc. Earthwork | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 2 | 4 | 3 | Visited in late Oct 2023. Just SE of the Great Mound and a 1/4 to 1/2 mile walk via paved trail from the visitor's center. | |||
| Mounds (Indiana) - Great Mound | Henge | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 4 | 5 | 3 | 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. | |||
| Mathew Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 4 | 4 | 5 | Visited in late Oct 2023. This is very likely the location of the mound, as it matches the description and there are no other obvious candidates in the immediate area. It is just north of the main administrative building in the Landmark Memorial Gardens, adjacent to a parking lot. | |||
| Benham Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Couldn't find | Visited in late Oct 2023. Was unable to locate, but had only approximate coordinates. It is somewhere on the hilltop at the end of Grand Vista Ave which is private property.
There is a mowed field in a town park at the jct of Kincaid and Section Rds. There is a trail at the rear of the field lead... Read More |
||||||
| Norwood Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 4 | 4 | 5 | Visited late Oct 2023. In a city park and publicly accessible with some parking. Mound is in good condition. | |||
| Conrad Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 3 | 3 | Visited late Oct 2023. On private property. Can be viewed 200-300 yds from the west via on-street parking on Rittenhouse Rd or from a side street to the south in a residential subdivision at 2709 Rittenhouse. | ||||
| River View Cemetery Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 3 | 4 | 5 | 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. | |||
| Reily Cemetery Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 3 | 4 | 4 | Visited late Oct 2023. Site is located as described, still in good condition. | |||
| Chrysler Enclosure | Henge | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 3 | 3 | 5 | Visited late Oct 2023. Fairly well preserved earthwork in a traffic circle next to a public school. Lots of parking nearby in a town park, easy access. | |||
| Bellows Falls Petroglyphs | Rock Art | United States | New England | Saw from a distance | 1st Aug 2022 | 4 | 3 | 2 | Saw at least one set of the markings from the bridge with binoculars. The yellow paint makes them easy to spot from high up. Took one look at the access from the outcrops and decided it was a bit too steep and rugged for my taste. | ||
| Rentschler Park Hilltop Enclosure | Hillfort | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Apr 2021 | 2 | 4 | 2 | The site is in a park (Rentschler Forest MetroPark) and open to the public. There are two parking areas: one on the south side and one on the north side near the river. I opted to walk in from the south side. Parking is available in a lot at the end of a side street off of Rentschler Estates Drive. ... Read More |
||
| Calvary Cemetery Hilltop Enclosure | Hillfort | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Apr 2021 | 1 | 3 | 1 | Access to both the cemetery and Carillon Historical Park is open to the public. There is a very steep trail from CHP to nearly the top of the bluff, but if there are any remains of the wall they are in a heavily overgrown, trail-less area along a ravine. It may be easier to spot in winter with less ... Read More |
||
| Luthor List Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Apr 2021 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Regarding accessibility, the mound is now protected on a property known as the Bartley Preserve (see comments). But it can be easily viewed from several car-friendly vantage points.
One is at the end of the Mound Trail road that heads east off of Kingston Pike (CR-9) into the Kingston Mound Mano... Read More |
||
| Sayler Story Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Couldn't find | 1st Oct 2021 | Unclear whether the visible part of the mound was destroyed or the location taken from Wikipedia is wrong. But there was nothing visible. | |||||
| Short Woods Park Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Oct 2021 | 3 | 3 | 2 | Publicly viewable at a distance of 200-300 yds from residential roads, as the mound itself is on a private golf course. | ||
| Hopewell Mound Group | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Oct 2019 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Intent of this trip was to see what was left of the square earthwork (nothing) and the mounds within the much larger enclosure (only a few slight rises above the field now). This site was not reconstructed, so what you see is the result of ~ 2000 yrs of erosion, plowing, etc. | ||
| Dixon Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Apr 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Other accounts have described access to this mound as "private" and "no trespassing." But I encountered no such issues on a recent visit. Parked in a nearby lot for town offices, walked in back and the mound was maybe 100 ft to the left in a field not far from a baseball diamond. The mound property ... Read More |
||
| Hopewell Mound Group | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Apr 2021 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Found the extant wall and ditch segments, in fairly good shape. | ||
| Lake George Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Oct 2022 | 3 | 4 | 5 | All mounds are on private property, but Mounds A and B are clearly visible no more than a few 100 ft away from the car pull-off area on Satartia Rd. Mound A is right next to the road and can be viewed at close range via a short walk. | ||
| Kings Crossing Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Oct 2022 | 2 | Attempted to visit this site, but Mound A is apparently on private property behind some houses. Protective neighborhood dogs dissuaded me from making more of an effort. Mound C may be more accessible behind an abandoned church but I didn't have time to try. The area is very overgrown and winter may ... Read More |
||||
| Arcola Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Oct 2022 | 3 | 4 | 5 | All mounds are on private property. There is a pull-off on Old Rte 61 next to a private field rd (no legal access on any of the field roads) that allows a limited view of Mound C (in a grove of trees) and a very small part of Mound B to its south. But the largest Mound A is blocked from this vantage... Read More |
||
| Mont Helena | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Oct 2022 | 3 | 4 | 5 | The one remaining mound is on private property. There is a Victorian mansion on top. Closest view from a vehicle is a pull-off on Rolling Fork Rd, about 800 ft from the site. Good visibility. | ||
| Grace Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Oct 2022 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Although the mounds are on private property, you can park within 100 ft of Mound A and a few hundred feet of Mound B in a pulloff area next to a historic marker with good visibility. | ||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (8) | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | 3 | 3 | 2 | This is Site U on published map. See visitor log for Foxborough Prayer Seat (7) for access. | |||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (7) | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | 3 | 3 | 2 | Revisited. No change but added a photo. This site is located in difficult terrain, as it is deep in a valley with steep sides and no direct trail. If you approach from the south, be prepared to cross a wetland. | |||
| Foxborough Stone Row (1) | Stone Row / Alignment | United States | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | 5 | 4 | 2 | Access is the same as that for the Foxborough Dolmen (see that visit log). This site can actually be seen from the dolmen, which is about 100 ft to the north. | |||
| Foxborough Dolmen | Marker Stone | United States | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 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 Standing Stone (5) | Marker Stone | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Jun 2017 | 3 | 3 | 2 | Best accessed from Thurston St lot via Megley Trail. About 400-500 ft past Foxborough Perched Boulder (5), it's a 100 ft or so bushwhack north off the Megley Trail. | ||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat and Stone Ring | Cairn | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | 4 | 4 | 2 | Revisited this site. Access as described in 2018. The side trail northwest off of Megley is directly opposite the side trail southeast to the Dolmen site. The trail leads directly to the site over a series of steep ledges. The site itself is on the highest flat ledge. | ||
| Foxborough Standing Stone (2) | Marker Stone | United States | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | 4 | 3 | 2 | An update on access. This site is accessed from a trail north from Megley, opposite the Dolmen site trailhead. Climb up trail 100 yds or so onto open ledges. Just after the ledges, turn right and bushwhack into the woods about 75 ft. Site is very difficult to spot from trail as it is surrounded by t... Read More |
|||
| Foxborough Perched Boulder (5) | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | Another visit. No changes, but added a photo or two. I confirmed that this is a short 100 ft bushwhack north from the Megley Trail, which you can see from the site during winter. An interesting ancillary site very close to the propped boulder, not on published map. See photo. | |||||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (11) | Cairn | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Site Z on the published map. Best way to get to this site is to park at the High Rock Road summit and hike down High Rock Rd. Take a left onto Messenger Rd and walk about 100-200 yds north past the waterhole to a height-of-land. The site is about a 100 ft bushwhack left (west) into the woods. Despit... Read More |

| Hopewell Culture National Historic Site | Misc. Earthwork | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Oct 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Site is as described in the overview and comments. A mostly faithful reconstructed site, due to damage from previous excavations and military or agricultural use of property. Many Hopewell mound and earthworks sites have suffered from similar modern activities. Some have been at least partially rebu... Read More |

| Foxborough Prayer Seat (5) | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Jan 2023 | 5 | 4 | 2 | A number of ways to access, but the shortest way is from Thurston St. Take Megley trail north for 1/2 to 3/4 mile then take a side trail on right down a steep slope for 100-200 yds. Site is 100 ft east bushwhack in the woods and not easy to spot from side trail due to overgrowth. But site itself is ... Read More |

Best accessed from the Thurston St parking lot. About 1/4 mile down a side trail that runs east from Megley Trail. Site is right next to the trail on the right. | |||
| Enon Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Apr 2021 | 5 | 3 | 5 | One of the more accessible Adena mound sites in Ohio. You pretty much don't need to get out of the car to see it clearly. Good for disabled visitors. | ||
| Story Mound (Chillicothe) | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Apr 2021 | 4 | 4 | 5 | A low chain link fence surrounds the site, preventing close access. However, the mound is easily seen from the parking area. | ||
| Piketon Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | Great Lakes Midwest | Visited | 1st Apr 2021 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Was able to locate what I believe are the 4 main mounds in the cemetery proper. The graded way is long gone as far as I can tell. See photos. | ||
| Lower Jackson | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Oct 2021 | 3 | As noted in the description, there is no public access. Just a car pull-off next to a state historic marker. The mound is quite a distance south in a farm field but can be spotted with the naked eye. | ||||
| Marsden Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Visited | 1st Oct 2021 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Mounds A-D mostly plowed or eroded down to nothing. I'm told E is still extant in woods but very tough to get to through the overgrowth. I gave up trying :-). | ||
| Foxborough Stone Row (2) | Stone Row / Alignment | United States | Visited | 1st Apr 2018 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Probably most easily accessed from High Rock Rd parking lot. Site is not far from the jct of High Rock and Acorn Trails, on a 100 ft side trail off of Acorn Trail. | |||
| Foxborough Cairn | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Feb 2016 | 1 | 4 | 3 | Park at Thurston St lot. This is on a high flat ledge on a side trail east of the Megley Trail. | |||
| Foxborough Stone Pile | Cairn | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 4 | 4 | 2 | Site W on published map. Medium aggregate rockpile. A significant bushwhack off of Messenger Rd trail. | ||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (10) | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Feb 2017 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 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 Standing Stone (3) | Marker Stone | United States | Visited | 1st Feb 2017 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 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 Stone Ring | Ring Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Feb 2017 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 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. | |||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (7) | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Jun 2018 | 3 | 4 | 2 | Site T on published map. Best accessed from Thurston St lot. There are a number of trails to get there (one being a side trail south off of Megley), all long, and with a roughly 300 ft bushwhack at the end from the nearest trail. | |||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat and Stone Ring | Cairn | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Site is 500-1000 ft north of Megley Trail on a side trail. As I recall it is sitting on a flat stone ledge just above the trail but that needs to be verified. Thurston St lot is best for parking and access. | ||
| Foxborough Perched Boulder (5) | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 5 | 4 | 3 | If this is the same structure as that on the published map, this was a short bushwhack north off the Megley Trail for me and not a 1/4 mile as described. Needs to be verified. Easiest to walk in via Megley from Thurston St lot. | ||
| Foxborough Standing Stone (1) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 3 | 3 | 2 | Likely Site F on published map (to be confirmed). This is a significant hike from either the High Rock or Thurston St parking lot. It's about a 50 ft bushwhack off the Megley Trail, opposite the Dolmen site. | ||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (9) | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Apr 2018 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Site X on published map. Access probably closest to the High Rock parking lot. Hike down High Rock Rd past the Megley Trail jct. Just before a waterhole, take a side trail north and walk 200 yards or so. The site is off trail about 30 ft on the left. | |||
| Foxborough Standing Stone (2) | Marker Stone | United States | Visited | 1st Jun 2017 | 3 | 3 | 3 | A short bushwhack north off of Megley Trail. Closest parking is the Thurston St lot. | |||
| Foxborough Standing Stone (4) | Marker Stone | United States | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 4 | 4 | 3 | This is 500 ft or so east of Megley Trail near a side trail. Been a while but I recall this being a bushwhack to some extent. Long walk from any of the parking lots. | |||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (6) | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 3 | 4 | 2 | Site O on published map. This is a fair distance south of High Rock Rd trail and well southeast of Megley, about 50 ft off a side trail. Long walk from any of the parking lots. | |||
| Foxborough Marker Stone | Rock Outcrop | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 4 | 3 | 2 | Either a deliberately placed marker rock or a chance placement of geology/glaciation. Co-located with Foxborough Prayer Seat 1 (see that site for access info). | ||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (1) | Cairn | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 3 | 3 | 2 | Horseshoe or U-shaped structure. Possibly a "prayer seat." Not far off a side trail, but a long walk via main trails from any of the parking areas. | ||
| Foxborough Prayer Seat (4) | Cairn | United States | New England | Visited | 1st Mar 2018 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Horseshoe or U-shaped structure. Possibly a "prayer seat." This is a bit of a bushwhack east of Messenger Rd trail or northeast of High Rock Rd & Megley trail jct. | ||
| Foxborough Perched Boulder (2) | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | United States | Visited | 1st Jan 2016 | 5 | 4 | 3 | On an unnamed side trail that runs east of Megley trail. Several structures are on this side trail. | |||

| Foxborough Prayer Seat (2) | Cairn | United States | Visited | 1st Feb 2016 | 5 | 4 | 3 | Horseshoe-shaped wall of rocks, conventionally referred to as a "prayer seat." A bit of a bushwhack to find off the trail system. | |||
| Foxborough Perched Boulder (1) | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | United States | Visited | 1st Jan 2016 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Right next to High Rock Trail but a bit of a walk from High Rk pkg area |
