Hey /x/, I was wondering if any of you know anything about indian burial grounds. My late grandmother owned a fairly large property in west virginia which was passed on to my father and his brother upon her death. My grandmother was a very superstitious women and was always insistent about her grandchildren never wondering too far from the house into the heavily wooded surrounding property. I always had assumed she was simply worried about us getting lost in the woods as the surrounding area was quite large and full of dense forrest that was difficult to navigate, but its possible her fears stemmed from something darker. A year or so ago I was wandering around the property when i stumbled upon an odd formation of rocks that was around 8 feet at its widest. Grass and other plant life had sprouted up between the rocks and it was clear that stones had been in there current position for some time. Intrigued I immediately headed back to find my father and ask him about what I had found. Surprisingly, he responded to my inquires in a very matter of fact manor and said I had stumbled upon one of the properties burial mounds. He insisted that he had told me about the mounds several times before and had even taken me to see them. Yet I had no recollection of this.

Apparently when the property was purchased the former owner informed my grandmother that there were several indian burial mounds scattered across the estate, but he had never contacted any archaeological associations because he worried someone would come and dig them up.

From my knowledge there are two of these mounds across the property that i have personally discovered, yet my uncle claims there is a third that he found one night yet for the life of him cannot find the location again.

My question for /x/ is how would i go about confirming if these are indeed burial mounds or not?
