The site consists of a platform mound which now measures 7feet in height, with the base being 100feet by 100feet.[1] Excavations at the site have produced charcoal from beneath the mound which dates to 700–1200 CE. A cemetery established in the 1850s on the mounds summit has helped preserve it.[1]
The site is located on US 165 11.7miles south of its junction with on Interstate 20.[1]
