stonetracker couldn't find on 1st Oct 2021 Unclear whether the visible part of the mound was destroyed or the location taken from Wikipedia is wrong. But there was nothing visible.

Sayler Story Mound
Sayler Story Mound submitted by stonetracker : The "mystery mound" as of 2010. As of 2021, I was able to find nothing resembling this at the location given. The above-ground level portion mound has either been destroyed or the location listed is incorrect. Photo: Wikipedia, Creative Commons (Vote or comment on this photo)
Artificial Mound in Sayler Park, Ohio. I was unable to locate this site in 2021. It appeared to be extant as of 2010 (see photo). The location coordinates from Wikipedia now plot out to a playing field behind Sayler Park School. But this area is now leveled or at best a slight rise. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) but with no address information. Photo: Wikipedia, Creative Commons

From the old Wikipedia description:

"No archaeological excavation has ever been conducted at the mound, and it has remained otherwise undisturbed as well; consequently, the mound remains in pristine condition. Despite the lack of evidence from excavations, the mound has been determined to be a work of the Adena culture, due in part to artifacts such as bones that have been found in the land immediately surrounding the mound. These findings, together with the mound's location near the floodplain of the Ohio River, have been understood as evidence of a larger group of Adena sites in the vicinity of the Story Mound. Such a complex, if it exists, would have great value as an archaeological site; therefore, the Story Mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975."
