History
Within the octagon are eight flat-topped mounds positioned just inside the openings between wall segments. Each one is six feet high, seventy-five to ninety feet long, and forty to sixty feet wide. The function of these mounds has not been determined. However, they may have been visual barriers, blocking the view from outside the octagon.
