Houses in the village were rectangular wattle and daub structures, with some situated on low house mounds. The palisade was made of upright logs covered in clay. The palisade encircled an area of about and followed the island shape of the raised levee. Outside the palisade was an encircling ditch, probably water filled at the time of the site's occupation. Mound A is a large mound, around in diameter. A deep depression is located in the northwestern quadrant of its summit. This feature is thought to be the remnants of a collapsed earth lodge with a dugout floor and embanked walls. Unlike other Middle Mississippian culture platform mounds to the northwest, Lamar-style mounds are more rounded in shape, as compared to squared-off rectangles.
