MOUND ON THE BELL PLACE, HAMILTON COUNTY.
The Bell Place, of which Mr. James S. Bell, of Hill City [now North Chattanooga], Tenn., is the owner, is just above the union of South Chickamauga creek with Tennessee river. In a cultivated field at this place is a mound within sight from the river, slightly more than 10 feet in height and 60 feet across its circular base. This mound, covered with stumps and trees, had been so greatly dug into in various parts that no investigation was attempted by us. In sight from this mound were several slight rises which we were told were what remained of mounds that had been plowed away.
