Blair Mound is a historic archaeological site located near Winnsboro, Fairfield County, South Carolina. Blair Mound is an earthen mound structure in the form of a low, oval hummock. It measures approximately 75 by 50 yards (69 m × 46 m) and is just over 5 feet (1.5 m) high, with evidence of leveling for agricultural development.[2]

The mound was constructed on the site of a late Woodland trash midden. It represents a late phase of the widespread Mississippian culture Pattern, and appears to have been constructed by A.D. 1300–1400.[2][3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
