Enon Burial Mound Called the Second Largest Mound in Ohio. Let Me Show You Six Bigger Burial Mounds that are "Address Restricted."

Within the mound was a stone chamber large enough to stand in. The early diggers made no notes on the size of the skeleton(s). The Mound encompasses over one acre and is 574 feet in circumference and 40 feet high. The estimated 12,800 cubic yards of topsoil would require 2,133 trucks to move it. If the average person could carry about 35 pounds, and soil weighs about 100 pounds per cubic foot, then it would have taken about one million loads to carry the soil from the surrounding area.

According to the misinformation dealt out by the Ohio Historical Society, "The Enon Adena Mound, also known as the Knob Prairie Mound, is Ohio's second largest conical Indian burial mound, is located in Enon. This mound is believed to have been built by the Adena culture."

This burial mound in Ross County is much bigger. "Address Restricted."

This burial mound in Butler County is much bigger. "Address Restricted."

Marietta Mound much bigger.

Athens County mound is much bigger.

Green County mound is about the same size, maybe bigger.

This mound "Address Restricted" is definitely the second largest mound in Ohio but it is "Adress Restricted" so I guess it doesn't count.
