The Serpent Cave is a prehistoric rock art site near Clarksville, Arkansas. It consists of a panel depicting a serpentine figure, a common motif in rock art of the Mississippian culture. Why a motif of that culture is found as far west as it is (in an area more dominated by Plains and Caddoan cultures before European contact) is unknown.[2]
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
