Southwold Earthworks, Indigenous archaeological site in Iona, Canada
The Southwold Earthworks features a double oval ring of raised structures surrounding the remains of a village near Talbot Creek in Ontario.
The Attiwandaron people, referred to as the Neutrals by French colonists, inhabited this fortified settlement between 1450 and 1550 AD.
Archaeological investigations revealed eighteen longhouses within the village, indicating a population of 800 to 900 individuals who practiced communal living patterns.
Located on Iona Road, three kilometers south of Iona, the site offers free admission and self-guided visits for those interested in Indigenous history.
The central open area within the earthworks served as a gathering space, with the main entrance positioned at the northeast corner.
