Balmoral Mounds (16 TE 12) is an archaeological site of the Coles Creek culture in Tensas Parish, Louisiana. The site has components located both on the east and west sides of US 65 near Bayou Rousset.
The site consists of 3 platform mounds that form an equilateral triangle. Mound A, the southwesternmost of the group, measures 11feet in height, with the base being 150feet by 165feet. Mound B, the northernmost mound, is a dome shaped mound measuring 9feet in height, with the base being 100feet by 130feet. The northernmost mound in the triangle, Mound C, is also a dome shaped mound and measures 8feet in height, with the base being 130feet by 150feet. Core samples of Mounds A and C suggest they were built at roughly the same time and in single stages[1]
The site is located on US 65 3miles south of Somerset.[1]
