Mount Royal, Archaeological site on St. Johns River near Lake George, Florida
The sand burial mound measures approximately 100 yards in diameter and rises 20 feet above the surrounding wetlands near the riverbank.
Native Americans constructed this ceremonial complex between 700 and 1050 CE, which later transformed into the Timucuan village of Enacape by 1565.
Naturalists John and William Bartram documented the site in 1766, creating detailed drawings of the Indian mound and recording the presence of a ceremonial avenue.
The one-acre state-owned archaeological site sits within a private subdivision but remains accessible to the public for educational purposes.
Archaeological excavations in the 1890s revealed numerous copper items, shells, and ceramics, indicating trade connections between the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.
