This mound is 65 feet long its body having an average width of 15 feet. It is about 2 feet high. This effigy differs in form from all others of the turtle type about Beloit. The mound is badly mutilated as several gopher holes have been made in it by unknown persons, and part of the mound (the tail) has been washed away by the erosion on the bluff. About 50 feet east of the effigy is a small conical mound which has been excavated. It measures 14 feet in diameter. A pit feet deep has been sunk into it. According to Rev. Stephen D. Peet 's plat of this group there were three mounds here originally. NO trace of the third conical mound can now be seen. This mound group is on the C. Jones property in the se. 14 of Section 36.
