This conical mound was built more than 2,000 years ago as a burial site. An amateur excavation in 1958 unearthed a pendant and a single burial that date back to the Adena culture, Ohio's earliest mound builders. 

Modern cultivation eroded the mound from its original height of 6 to 7 feet to only 3 feet. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it was reconstructed by Metro Parks in 1989.
