Two flanking mounds lie one to the east and one to the west, but slightly out of line. This group received considerable attention in 1939. It was in the largest mound that a curving five-step stairway flagged with stone was found (fig. 2). No work was done here in 1940, except * No attempt will be made here to give an account of all the mounds in detail. Only the major groups and those minor ones in which work was carried on in 1940 will be described. The others, however, are indicated on the sketch map (flg. 2)..
