This group of mounds has received its name from Kit Carson Spring which
lies in their neighborhood. It is situated north of Navaho Church on an
elevation overlooking the road from Gallup to Crown Point. The members
of the group are numerous, but each mound is comparatively small. In
no case were walls found rising above the mounds, but as nearly as
could be judged from their shape, the buildings covered had rectangular
outlines and were accompanied by circular depressions. Fifty feet south
of the largest mound of this group there is a semicircular pile of
rocks which measures 42 feet on the south side, and with a radius of
30 feet from this side to the curved wall. The main ruin has lateral
extensions on the north and south ends, and measures 70 feet by 41
feet. The lateral extensions give the mounds the shape of the letter E
and enclose a square room of rectangular form measuring 20 by 15 feet.
