ThePortavant Mound (also known as thePortavant Mound Site orSnead Island Temple Mound orPortavant Indian Mound) is anarchaeological site onSnead Island within theEmerson Point Preserve, just west ofPalmetto,Florida. On December 23, 1994, it was added to theU.S.National Register of Historic Places.

The Portavant Mound (or Snead Island Temple Mound) is one of fifteen or more "templemounds" produced by theSafety Harbor culture (900–1725) found in the vicinity ofTampa Bay. The mound is four meters high, measures 45 m by 75 m at the base, and has a flat top that is 24 m by 46 m. Unlike other "temple mounds" around theTampa Bay area, the Portavant Mound does not have a ramp to the top of the mound. There is a lower (one m high) platform, about 30 m by 30 m, that abuts the main mound. The Portavant Mound was made from soil mixed with debris frommiddens. Several other mounds, also consisting of soil mixed with midden debris, are near the "temple mound".[3]

The Portavant Mound site has been the target of a stabilization project to protect the mounds from damage from river erosion, looting, foot traffic, and exotic vegetation.[4]
