Log Text: Site is mostly as described, in a private farm field. There is a parking pulloff and interpretive signage about 100-200 yds from Mound A, which is about as close as you can legally approach (No Trespassing signs make that clear!) . Mound C is just SW of Mound A. So close that past researchers have occasionally referred to it as a double-mound site.
Evansville Mounds
Date Added: 9th Mar 2024
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (The South)
Visited: Saw from a distance on 1st Feb 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3
Evansville Mounds submitted by stonetracker on 10th Mar 2024. My futile attempt to inconspicuously approach Mound B from the back, close enough for a photo. At the end my progress was thwarted by a nettle-infested bayou. There are some things we won't cross !
The mound is currently only 2-3 ft high. A nearly 100 year old abandoned schoolhouse sits on top.

Log Text: Parking pulloff is on Austin Rd, which is 200-300 yds north of Mounds A and B, although B is at the closer end of the range. Entire site is on private farm property so viewing is from a distance. Unobstructed view of A if you walk down the street 200 ft, but trees obscure B and require bushwhacking on private property to see even partially. I was unable to spot Mound C, if it indeed still exists. Interpretive sign is intact.

Log Text: Saw at least one set of the markings from the bridge with binoculars. The yellow paint makes them easy to spot from high up. Took one look at the access from the outcrops and decided it was a bit too steep and rugged for my taste.
Benham Mound

Comment from original poster:
"Looking southeast from Section Road at the Kincaid Road intersection in Amberley, Ohio, United States. In the woods at the top of the hill is the Benham Mound"

Log Text: Visited in late Oct 2023. Was unable to locate, but had only approximate coordinates. It is somewhere on the hilltop at the end of Grand Vista Ave which is private property.
There is a mowed field in a town park at the jct of Kincaid and Section Rds. There is a trail at the rear of the field leading up the hill. However, I didn't see anything obvious near the top and would have had to battle heavy overgrowth to explore further. This may have to be visited in a season when there is less obscuring vegetation.

Hodgen's Cemetery Mound submitted by AKFisher on 20th Oct 2023. Hodgen's Cemetery Mound in Tiltonsville, Ohio. It is an Adena burial mound generally dated to 500 BC-AD 500.
