Sewee Mound, Archaeological site in Charleston County, United States
Sewee Mound features a circular shell ring structure measuring 149 feet in diameter and reaching a height of 10 feet within Francis Marion National Forest.
The prehistoric shell ring dates back to the Late Archaic-Early Woodland Period, approximately 1000-2200 BC, representing early Indigenous settlements along the South Carolina coast.
The mound contains primarily oyster shells and artifacts that demonstrate the food gathering practices and daily activities of Native American communities in this coastal region.
Located off Salt Pond Road in Awendaw, the site offers walking trails through the national forest while maintaining protective measures for archaeological preservation.
This archaeological structure belongs to a collection of twenty shell rings distributed specifically between the central coasts of South Carolina and Georgia.
