This mound is in a graveyard next to the Fairmount Presbyterian Church. It is about 15 feet high and 80 feet in diameter. You will see it looming over you as you drive up the road to the church. Like the other mounds we visited during this trip, it is located on a ridge.
Because there is no forest hiding it, this was the most impressive of the mounds we saw on this visit. The mound looks well preserved.
The mound is on private property. Do not trespass. There is limited parking at the church.
We also visited these nearby sites on this day trip: Flint Ridge, Huffman Mound, Dawes Arboretum Mound, Clark’s Dining Room.
