The earth mounds can turn up anywhere in the Lowcountry, it seems —
odd-shaped crowns or crooked rows, a little too large and too strange to
be natural.
They are haunts of the past.
Kevin Byrd was a kid playing in the West Ashley woods near the Ashley
River when he came upon the first one to catch his eye, a circle of
humps twice as tall as a man. He knew it was something but had no idea
what. Even as an adult he keeps looking for it when driving past. He’s
now 54 years old.

Cool! I've seen the Indian mounds but have never heard of Confederate mounds.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I would call the Confederate ones earthworks.
