Historic Ormond - After a.d. 800 Indian Mound On the corner of
Mound and South Beach, this is the last of the many prehistoric
mounds that were constructed by native people of the area . This
particular St. Johns period mound cates back to about 800 A.D.
and has the skeletal remains of more than 125 people buried in
the sand. This was common practice at that time. The bones of
most of the deceased were 'bundled' and as more bodies were
buried and covered with layers of sand, the mound grew over
time. Historic Ormond - James Carnell House James Carnell was
