Adena Burial Mound in Huntington County, Indiana, Near Warren
The circular ditch that surrounds the mound is still visible across from the cemetery drive. Another mound with an encircling earthwork was located north, in Lagrange County, Indiana, unfortunately it was so overgrown that a good photo was impossible. Several other mounds similar to this one are described in Ohio county histories within the Great Lakes drainage. A mound surrounded by a ditch is clearly Adena, and is more evidence that Northeast Indiana was their early home.

Several years ago square shaped
excavations were seen on the side of the mound revealing that
archeologist were attempting to retrieve grave goods from its
interior. As is the case of 80 percent of all archaeological digs,
no paper was ever published.
