Mound F, the only mound that is completed excavated, was a platform mound measuring 235 feet (72 m) by 239 feet (73 m) and 4.26 metres (14.0 ft) in height.
Excavations showed that the mound was built in several construction phases with different occupation episodes on the different levels.
The episodes of occupation include a structure at the original ground layer, followed by another structure on what is known as "occupational layer 2".
This was then covered by the "inner mound surface", a layer of mound fill and more structures.
The structures on this level seemed to have been domestic in nature.
The next layer of mound fill is known as the "primary mound surface" and was surmounted by a large rectangular structure with at least two rooms and anterooms, or porticoes, appended to it.
The final layer of mound fill is the "secondary mound surface".
Due to the amount of historic period soil disturbance on the summit it is unclear if any structures sat atop this phase.
Mound F was destroyed during the process of its excavation and subsequently re-constructed to show its original appearance.
The reconstruction features a temple structure surrounded by a palisade and stairs leading to the summit.
