 Galloway
Place Mound, also known as Hodgkins Place Mound, is a small solitary
conical mound on the eastern edge of Maçon Ridge. It’s
10 feet tall, 80 feet in diameter, and is well preserved. Soil
analysis and a radiocarbon date indicate that it may date to 400
BC to AD 20 (Tchefuncte to Marksville periods). Artifacts found
nearby include pottery, beads, and projectile points, as well
as cooking ball fragments similar to those found at nearby Poverty
Point (1700–1000 BC), which may indicate that people were
living on the site during that period.
