This mound is situated three hundred and fifty yards from the French
Broad River, on the farm of Mr. William Harris.
It is 10 feet high and nearly 50 feet in circumference. Its summit has
been cultivated for many years, and the height has doubtless been much
reduced. Immediately under the surface soil a heavy bed of ashes and
charcoal was reached, which at the border of the mound was only a few
inches thick, but at the center was about 3 feet thick.
In this stratum were found a few implements, and fragments of pottery,
and two very much decayed skeletons. A part of one cranium was
preserved. The mound beneath this stratum was composed chiefly of loam,
with some sand in the center, and contained nothing of interest.
