Artificial Mound in Coshocton County, Ohio.
23 feet high and 120 feet in diameter, the west side of the mound was sheered off then the road was widened. Considered an Adena culture mound because of its appearance and location.

Note: The mound lies on private property, but may be viewed from County Road 271, south of Coshocton. Source: Indian Mounds of the Middle Ohio Valley, S. Woodward and J. McDonald, 2002.
