stonetracker visited on 1st Oct 2021 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 2 Publicly viewable at a distance of 200-300 yds from residential roads, as the mound itself is on a private golf course.
The Short Woods Park Mound is believed to have been built by people of the Adena culture. Measuring 38 feet (12 m) high, the mound is an ellipse, approximately 175 feet (53 m) long and 140 feet (43 m) wide.
The mound was excavated by the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History and Science, date unclear. Among the many artifacts recovered were grave goods and thirty-nine skeletons that were buried in log tombs. According to radiocarbon dating, the individuals buried in the mound lived approximately 2,000 years BP.
Location coordinates are for the mound summit. However the mound itself is on a private golf course and only viewable from 200-300 yds away. The closest public vantage point is the jct of Dahlia and Home City Aves. On-street parking is available. Another farther viewing point is from Fernbank Ave.
