This mound is located on the east end of the island. Although it has
been under cultivation for many years, it is still 10 feet in height.
The circumference at the base is about 100 feet. Near the surface a bed
of burned clay was encountered, in which were many impressions of poles,
sticks, and grass. This was probably the remains of the roof of a house,
which had been about 16 feet long by 15 feet in width. The bed of clay
was about 4 inches thick. Beneath this was a layer of charcoal and
ashes, with much charred cane. There were also indications of charred
posts, which probably served as supports to the roof. Four feet below
the surface were found the remains of thirty-two human skeletons. With
the exception of seventeen skulls, none of the bones could be preserved.
There seems to have been no regularity in the placing of the bodies.
