I would call the last picture an "effigy", because it has reasonably good symmetry. Also, subjectively, it looks a bit like an altar.
I’d suggest contacting Johannes Loubser. He can be reached at 404-513-4900 or via his website

Heather -
I am managing an inventory of sites of this kind throughout the eastern seaboard. Would you be willing to provide me with a more precise location (GPS,m lat/long, or UTM coordinates) for this site? I will keep this confidential, to be shared only with the State and tribal Historic Preservation Offices. Hopefully, with this kind of information sites of this sort can receive better protection from development! You can reach me at teximus@comcast.net.
