About one-half mile southwest are the remains of a stone fortification and moat of ancient and unknown origin. One theory holds that it was built by a party of twelfth-century Welch voyagers who entered the country via the Gulf of Mexico. Near here also was the capital of the Indian province of Chisca, to which DeSoto sent scouts in 1540.
