Fitzhugh Mounds, Archaeological site in Madison Parish, Louisiana.
The Fitzhugh Mounds complex contains two remaining earthen structures, with Mound B measuring 150 feet at its base and rising 10 feet in height.
First documented in 1848, this Native American site dates from 1200 to 1541 CE and originally featured seven mounds surrounding a central plaza area.
The mounds represent the architectural and ceremonial practices of the Plaquemine Mississippian people who constructed these elevated platforms for religious purposes.
Located at the intersection of State Highway 602 and Busby Road, the mounds stand on private property and should be observed from the public right-of-way.
One of the remaining mounds, known as Mound D, functions as an active cemetery with a circular base spanning 200 feet in diameter.
