Located in the village of Woodlawn,[1] the mound occupies an unusual position atop an esker, high above most of the surrounding terrain.

[3] Overlooking the West Fork of Mill Creek, it was once part of a farm owned by the Burchenal family.

[3] In 1975, the Burchenal Mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its archaeological potential.
