A burial mound attributed by the National Register of Historic Places to the Adena culture is the central feature of the village.^[3] The ovoid earthwork has a base of roughly 150 by 90 feet and a height of 25 feet. Unsystematic excavations in the early twentieth century by local residents produced flint tools and human remains.^[4] The mound stands on private property but is visible from the road.
