Sauls Mound
Height: 72 feet
Base: About 370 feet by 300 feet
Constructed: 1-300 A.D.
Culture: Middle Woodland
Sauls Mound is the central mound of the Pinson
Complex. This ceremonial mound is 72 feet tall and has
four corners that point to the cardinal directions -
north, south, east and west. One hypothesis suggests
that the top of this mound was the observation point for
observing the Summer Solstice and Equinox sunrises.
We hope that you too will be intrigued by the wonder of
this special monument as you climb to the top.
Please use the stairs to prevent erosion.
