There is a road, where foot seldom treads, Mounded on each side, leading over the Coldfield, from Perry-bridge towards the Newlands, undoubtedly the work of this venerable band of discreet knights.
"An History of Birmingham (1783)"
William Hutton
In the centre of the open space within the hanging wall of the vines,-perfect sylvan temple,-there lay a Mounded grave, covered from head to foot with articles he knew at once to be the gifts of Indians to some great chief gone to the shadowy hunting-grounds.
"The Maid of the Whispering Hills"
Vingie E. Roe
It doesn't take long for the grass to grow over the graves of the dead; the dew forming upon the Mounded turf is less like tears than like glistening jewels to deck the earth in the joyous time of her bridehood in the spring; the flight of birds over it and their little bursts of melody are eloquent of an ecstasy which does not remember.
