Log Text: In late Oct 2023, I attempted to find these mounds by walking west from a car pulloff on Rte 61 and also north from a field road next to two brick silos. I did not attempt to walk in east from Parkway Rd, which as Dr. Little's photos suggest, may provide easier access to Mound B. The entire area was extremely overgrown and nearly impassible, so I abandoned the search.
It may be easier in winter, once the vegetation dies back.

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.
Mathew Mound
Date Added: 31st Oct 2023
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Mathew Mound submitted by stonetracker on 23rd Oct 2023. Reasonably (although not 100 %) sure this is the mound, as it conforms to the description and there is no other obvious candidate in the vicinity.

Log Text: Visited in late Oct 2023. This is very likely the location of the mound, as it matches the description and there are no other obvious candidates in the immediate area.
It is just north of the main administrative building in the Landmark Memorial Gardens, adjacent to a parking lot.
