The Owl Creek Mounds are a Native American Ceremonial Complex located in Mississippi's Tombigbee National Forest. The mounds are believed to have been built between 800 and 900 years ago during the Mississippian era.[1] Archaeological excavations from 1991 to 1992 by crews from Mississippi State University led by Janet Rafferty revealed structural remains on three of the mounds at the site.[2]
