Indian Mound Park

1840's survey of the Conneaut, Ohio Earthworks, a Hilltop Fort. It is located on the flat top of a 70-foot high shale hill with the sides so steep that there is only one place to ascend. It was first "discovered" in the mid 1800s. The high earthen/stone walls along the edges of the hilltop enclose 5 acres and today it is in "Indian Mound Metropark" and called "Conneaut Fort." It is believed to have been inhabited from AD 950-1350. Post holes from house structures were found within the enclosure during 1971 excavations.
