I don't know about the ones at Armco Park, but isn't there a signal mound just off the corner of Thomas Road and Wayne-Madison Road, just outside of Jacksonburg? You can see it from the road...and I have always been told that it was a signal mound, but I never heard anyone call it by name. That one is not really close to 122. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Helton" <spoors@localnet.com> To: "Butler Rootsweb" <OHBUTLER@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 1:15 PM Subject: [OHBUTLER] Indian mounds > Anyone know the location of two Indian mounds located inside of ARMCO Park > in Warren County?

The Indian Mound on Wayne Madison is called The Great Mound, with only the Miamisburg Mound being the only signal mound in the world that is larger. Both were built by the Adena. There was a third one of these in a row where the railroad goes through West Middletown (somewhere in the vicinity) but was taken out by the railroad company. I have also found a mound in great size like these across from Sebald Park, a mile or two up Dry Run Fork. Take care, J. Larry Helton, Jr. Famous last words: " Paddle faster, I hear banjo music..."
