stonetracker visited on 1st Apr 2021 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 3 Access: 5 One of the more accessible Adena mound sites in Ohio. You pretty much don't need to get out of the car to see it clearly. Good for disabled visitors.

Approximately 30 – 35 feet high and 110 feet in diameter; owned by the village of Enon.
This mound has not been part of any modern excavation and there are many “legendary” stories about its history after modern settlement, including an excavation in the 1800’s that found a stone altar, and the George Rogers Clark used it as a lookout point during the French and Indian War.
