Galloway Place, also known as Hodgkins Place, is a well-preserved conical mound on the eastern edge of Macon Ridge. It is 10 feet tall and 80 feet in diameter. Soil studies and artifacts suggest people lived here as early as 1700 BC, about the same time people were living at the nearby Poverty Point site.
