Balmoral Mounds

Balmoral Mounds (16 TE 12) is an archaeological site of the Coles Creek culture in Tensas Parish, Louisiana.

The site has components located both on the east and west sides of US 65 near Bayou Rousset.

The site consists of 3 platform mounds that form an equilateral triangle.

The northernmost mound in the triangle, Mound C, is also a dome shaped mound and measures 8 feet (2.4 m) in height, with the base being 130 feet (40 m) by 150 feet (46 m).

Core samples of Mounds A and C suggest they were built at roughly the same time and in single stages[1] The site is located on US 65 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Somerset.
