Description


Mound Cemetery Mound (Chester, Ohio)

The Mound Cemetery Mound is a Native American mound in central Meigs County, Ohio, United States. Located in the eponymous Mound Cemetery, the mound lies north of the community of Chester in Chester Township. Because the mound has never been excavated, it remains in fine condition. Its location near the Middle Branch of the Shade River suggests that it was built by the Adena people; if so, it can be expected to contain remnants of a wooden structure that served as the burial place for a prominent member of Adena society.[2]
