It's not obvious in the following pictures, but this is the best that's possible at this time of year. The little copse of trees is growing on a Caddo Indian mound. The rest of the land is flat and clear. I should've taken better pictures to show that, but I did get one (above).

The mound has been described as the foundation of a "dwelling." Once upon a time, the new owner of the land surrounding it mistakenly believed that he owned this land. The company was preparing to bulldoze (flatten) the mound, but they were stopped by a "society" that manages the historic site. To my knowledge, it has no official name. I walked to the top of the mound one time, many years ago, and I saw that someone had dug into it. I don't know what was or was not discovered there. In general, I've found that people do not respect such structures or what might be buried within. One day, I will try to get better pictures, maybe in the winter when nothing is blooming. I didn't go to the top this time, as I have no desire to trespass or possibly get bitten by a snake.
