Strange piles of rocks in Southern Indiana
Posted: Dec 7, 2012 1:08 am
I am sitting here thinking about this topic and wondering if anyone knew anything about the subject.
In the woods around my home in Harrison County Indiana there are several mounds of rocks. I would not think much of it if they did not look so man made. There are three that I know of and probably more. All the piles are about 3 - 4 feet wide and about 6 feet long. The rocks are fairly uniform in size and fairly rounded. The stones are probably grapefruit sized.
They are all placed perfectly east/west. They all mound up to a peak height of about 2 - 3 feet. They have definitely been there for a long time judging by the moss and plant growth on the rocks.
I am curious if they might be indian graves or possibly civil war graves, the area is along the route Morgan traveled after the battle of Corydon.
I have no intentions of digging up these mounds but I am just curious if anyone knows anything about them. I will add that I have seen similar mounds in the Harrison Crawford Forestry.
I do not have any pictures currently but when I get back to Indiana next week I will try to get some and post them.
