Keiter Mound, Native American burial site in Wilmington, Ohio, United States.
The Keiter Mound stands 5.5 feet tall and extends 58 feet from north to south and 65 feet from east to west on a wooded hill.
The archaeological site dates from 499 BC to 499 AD when Hopewellian peoples constructed it as a burial ground near Anderson Fork creek.
The isolated location of the mound suggests it served small groups of mobile hunters who maintained ceremonial practices in the Ohio Valley region.
The mound remains largely unexcavated and sits on private property, requiring advance permission and coordination with local authorities for research visits.
The mound's position on an 8-acre bluff provides a strategic overlook of Anderson Fork, making it different from other Hopewell constructions in the area.
