Janet's Mound, also known as site 22-Ch-520, is an archeological site in the general area of French Camp, Mississippi. Its specific location is not disclosed, but the site is more significant for its location in an area of the state which has few mounds and where little archeological research of mounds has been conducted.
The mound has circumference of approximately {{convert|60|m|ft}} and is from {{convert|1.25|m|ft}} to {{convert|1.75|m|ft}} high. It appears to have once been conical in shape but has been damaged by a pothole dug by, presumably, amateurs or professionals seeking artifacts.{{cite web|url=https://www.apps.mdah.ms.gov/nom/prop/2145890837.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Janet's Mound |publisher=Mississippi State Department of Archives and History |author=David Morgan and James Lauro |date=April 10, 1990 |access-date=November 2, 2016 }}
