Ancient Adena Burial Mound (Windsor) in Randolph County, Indiana
This is the largest Adena burial mound in the state of Indiana, located east of Windsor, Indiana. The mound dates from 800 B.C. - 200 A.D. Ball State University archaeologists have removed the back of this burial mound without restoring their destruction. It's sad that such an antiquities jewel has been reduced to an archaeological field school. Near this site was an earthwork and mass grave of Nephilim giants www.nephilimgiants.net : Nephilim Graveyard Discovered on the Banks of the White River at an Earthen Temple in Winchester, IndianaHistory of Randolph County, Indiana, 1885:
East of Windsor and north of the Pike, on Esq. Thompson’s farm, may be seen a large oval mound, covering an acre, and twenty-five or thirty feet high. It is 450 yards round the base and longer than it is wide. When dug into, it shows clay mixed with ashes and coal more or less. A chunk, seeming to have been a sod of grass, was thrown up from the bottom of a hole twenty feet deep, dug from the top vertically downward. A red oak tree, four feet through, was standing (forty years ago) near the top of the mound, but no other trees of much size were on its surface. The ground around the mounds was then covered with large forest trees. There are now many trees growing along the sides of the mound, from six to fifteen inches through. An excavation of considerable size appeared (forty years ago) perhaps twenty rods from the base of the mound, which is thought to be the place whence the earth for its construction was taken. Another smaller mound lies across the river not far away. Esq. Thompson has preserved many fine specimens of arrowheads, hatchets, hammers, pestles, etc., picked up on his farm. The hatchets and hammers have hollows cut around them for handles. The relics are all of stone. Many of them are worked smooth and highly polished.
