Inscription.
Christmas Mound is a single conical mound
approximately ten feet in height. Archaeological
excavations in 2013 determined that the mound was built
in a single stage on top of an earlier midden deposit. The
midden dates to ca. AD 400, but the age of the mound
itself is unknown. A historic cemetery is currently located
on the summit of the mound.
