During World War I the United States Army built a military training base, Camp Sherman, on the site.

After the war, the camp was razed and Ohio State Route 104, a road which runs through the site, was widened causing even more damage.

By the early 2000s when archaeologists from the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park began doing magnetic surveys the sites features were so flattened that they could not be distinguished by eye from the surrounding fields although they could be made out on old aerial photos.
