Rock Eagle Effigy Mound, Archaeological site in Eatonton, United States.

The Rock Eagle Effigy Mound extends 102 feet in length and features white quartz stones arranged to form an eagle shape with wings spread.

Native American builders from the Woodland Period constructed this stone arrangement between 1000 BC and 300 AD using local quartzite materials.

The stone formation represents an eagle with its head facing east, suggesting connections to solar alignments and Indigenous ceremonial practices in North America.

Visitors can observe the mound structure from an observation tower and learn about Native American heritage through informational displays at the site.

The monument stands as the largest known bird effigy mound in North America, containing white quartz rocks stacked in a precise eagle pattern.
