Full Description

A series of four mounds were arranged around a small circular mound. Two sections cut across mounds showed it was constructed by digging adjacent ditches. The mounds were disturbed by rabbit and root action. (1)

Four sub-rectangular pillow mounds arranged in a square around a central round mound. No dating evidence was found, but the structural appearance suggestes it was a warren for rabbits. (2-3)
