 Adena Burial Mound in Vigo County, Indiana?

This burial mound looks to be of natural origin. It may as the history suggests being "topped out."  There are many man-made burial mounds near this possible burial mound.

   In the S. E. Corner of Section 29, Prairie Creek Township, there is a hill or mound about fifty feet high which seems to have been a point of the bluff that was topped out by the mound builders and used as a signal station.
