Norwood Mound
The Norwood Mound is a historic burial mound in Norwood, Ohio, United States, a suburb of Cincinnati. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 1974. The mound stands about , and is originally believed to have been taller. No record or evidence exists of any archaeological excavation having been performed at the mound.〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 639-640.〕
Measurements in the 1970s recorded its dimensions as being approximately in length (from northeast to southwest) and in diameter (from northwest to southeast).〔 It is located in Tower Park at 656 ft above sea level. That site is the highest land elevation in Norwood and one of the highest elevations in all of southwest Ohio. It is believed the burial mound was built at that site due to the high elevation.
An 1895 source describes it as "the only Indian mound now remaining in the vicinity of Cincinnati." There were mounds in Downtown Cincinnati at the time of arrival of the first white settlers.
