History
7
Insley once had up to 13 mounds, though only 2 are visible from the road. The closest mound is 10½ feet tall and rectangular with a flat top. The mound farther north is 20 feet tall, but it was 5 feet taller before fill was removed from its top. Indians built these 2 mounds around AD 900, but people lived here as early as 1500 BC.
