THE END! (of the long bumpy road)

The end of Middle Caicos Island, rugged shoreline. Salt Cay is in the distance.

 

About four miles southwest of the Lorimers settlement, on the salina, can be found a large number of Lucayan mounds. These mounds average three feet wide and about twelve feet long, and are built of pieces of coral rock. As a rule, the mounds are arranged in a crescent, with not more than six mounds in a group. In this area was found considerable pottery, one stone knife of dark green jadeite with a cutting edge. In addition to these mounds on the salina flats are two hills, about two miles north of the Lorimers settlement, called Gamble Hill and Indian Hill. There are some eight or ten mounds on Gamble Hill and two in Indian Hill. www.tcimall.tc/middlecaicos/index.htm
