		The Etowah Mounds complex consists of six earthen mounds all in the traditional Mississippian truncated pyramid shape.
		These Indian mounds were built between 950 A.D. and 1450 A.D. although major construction didn't truly begin until around A.D. The Etowah Indian Mounds site is surrounded by a deep moat on three sides and the Etowah River on the fourth.
		It rose 67 feet and was oriented to the cardinal points (as were the other mounds at the site.) The mound was probed with ground penetrating radar but nothing worth investigating was found and thus the mound has never been fully excavated.
