Burrows Park Effigy Mound and Campsite is an archaeological site in Burrows Park in Madison, Wisconsin. The site includes a bird-shaped effigy mound with an 128-foot (39 m) wingspan; it once included a fox-shaped mound as well, though it has been destroyed.[2] The mound was built by Mound Builders during the Late Woodland period, likely between 700 and 1200 A.D. The Mound Builders used effigy mounds as burial sites, and bird-shaped mounds represented sky spirits in their religion; effigies of other animals were used to represent different elements. A 1934 restoration project repaired vandalism to the mound and cleaned up its surroundings.[3]
