1. Filhiol Mound Marker
Filhiol Mound is a 7-foot-tall platform mound that measures 98 by 98 feet at the base. It was built in two episodes. The first episode was completed around AD 700. An Indian village extended from the mound to the Ouachita River. An 1850s cemetery in the summit has helped preserve the mound.
