Spanish Mount Point is a historic archaeological site located at Edisto Beach State Park, Edisto Island, Colleton County, South Carolina. Spanish Mount is an oyster-clam shell midden, about 27 meters long and 3 meters high. The site is bordered by water and marsh on three sides. Spanish Mount dates between 2200 and 1800 BC and represents a transitional period of pre-history and the midden accumulated during the site's short term occupation.{{cite web|title=Spanish Mount Point, Charleston County (Address Restricted) |url=http://www.nationalregister.sc.gov/colleton/S10817710082/index.htm|work=National Register Properties in South Carolina|publisher=South Carolina Department of Archives and History|accessdate=25 February 2014}}{{cite web|author=W.
