From the Wikipedia entry on this mound:
"During a test excavation of the mound and its immediate vicinity, archaeologists from Wilmington College found pieces of Adena pottery around the mound. Judging by findings from other Adena mound sites, the Hillside Haven Mound is believed to be a burial mound built over the body of a leading member of Adena society. Although no detailed excavation has been conducted at Hillside Haven, all evidence found around points to the conclusion that it is a typical Adena mound, with both ceremonial and functional items within."
Location coordinates are from Wikipedia and plot out in the middle of a private campground, so they should be considered approximate at best. The description states the mound is "along a walking trail."
The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
