Fewkes Group Archaeological Site, Prehistoric Native American archaeological complex in Brentwood, United States.
The 15-acre archaeological site contains five earthen mounds arranged around a central plaza, with remains of ancient residential structures and burial grounds.
Archaeological investigations in 1920 led by William E. Myer uncovered evidence of Mississippian culture occupation between 1050 and 1475 AD at this location.
The inhabitants constructed circular houses and practiced two different burial methods: flexed burials in stone boxes and extended burials in rectangular stone graves.
The site stands at the intersection of Moores Lane and Wilson Pike within Primm Historic Park, near the preserved Boiling Spring Academy from 1823.
The largest ceremonial mound reaches 25 feet in height and contains multiple construction phases, including remnants of a structure called Sacred Image House.
