Artificial Mound.
There seems to be no record on an excavation of this mound. The villagers of Reily, Ohio, placed their own cemetery around it. There it has been protected, at what is believed to have been its original size and height. This use of mound sites for European-American burials was common for the Ohio Valley region, settled in the 1820's to 1840's. The site overlooks Little Indian Creek just southwest of the village, on the road to Peoria on the Indiana-Ohio state line.
