Scott Place Mounds

Five mounds stand where Corney Bayou meets Lake D'Arbonne, each raised in a single stage. The tallest, Mound A, is a flat-topped square platform about 11 feet high, with a base 125 feet on a side and a summit of roughly 70 by 45 feet. Mound B, 270 feet to the northeast, is a round mound about 6 feet tall, and charcoal from beneath it dates to about 1200 CE, between late Coles Creek and early Plaquemine times. The three others stand about 2 feet high. The land is private, so you see the group from the road.
