I have visited· I would like to visit

stonetracker visited on 1st Apr 2022 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Other accounts have described access to this mound as "private" and "no trespassing." But I encountered no such issues on a recent visit. Parked in a nearby lot for town offices, walked in back and the mound was maybe 100 ft to the left in a field not far from a baseball diamond. The mound property was not posted, but the possible enclosure referred to in the description is posted as private.

Artificial Mound in Great Lakes Midwest

Mound site is about 100 ft east of a public baseball field adjacent to a parking lot for Homer OH town offices. Other accounts have described it as a single conical mound about 15 ft in height, although it looked more like 20-30 ft to my eyes. Mound is somewhat overgrown with shrubs and small trees but clearly visible. It was never excavated, but the shape of the mound and site configuration suggests that it was built by the Adena culture.

There is what looks like the ruined remains of a rectangular enclosure 400 ft to the south of it, but access is posted with No Trespassing signs and it is very overgrown. Whether it is prehistoric or simply the remains of some historic boundary or other structure is unknown.
