Artificial Burial Mound in Ross County, Ohio.
Conical burial mound, now 20 feet high and 95 feet in diameter. A typical Adena conical burial mound, now located in a residential neighborhood. Excavations conducted in 1897 yielded a 15 ft diameter circle of wooden posts at the base of the mound with one burial and a number of flint spear points.

The mound is on a fenced one acre plot owned by the Ohio Historical Society. You cannot enter the property, but the mound is easily seen from the surrounding streets.
