Artificial Mound in Greene County, Ohio.Located between Birch Creek and Yellow Springs Creek this small burial mound has been excavated several times in the 20th Century, finding de-articulated burials and grave goods associated with the Adena culture. The conical mound is only five feet tall and was named for debates held on a small platform historic settlers built on the mound.

The mound lies along the Inman trail through the glen. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
