Located near the unincorporated community of Jacksonburg in Butler County,[1] it is tree-covered and sits on the edge of a field[4] in Section 12 of Wayne Township.

[2] In November 1868, the mound was quarried for gravel by local residents; this excavation continued until the miners had reached the center of the mound, where they found multiple limestone burial vaults.

These vaults were built as squares, 3 feet (0.91 m) on each side; each contained a skeleton that had presumably been placed in a seated position.

The vaults were stacked from the mound's floor to a position just underneath its summit; each was separated from others by a small amount of gravel.

[2] Findings from the mound have led to the conclusion that it is a work of the Adena culture.
