Man Mound, Native American effigy mound in Greenfield, Wisconsin, United States.

The earthwork represents a humanoid figure with horns, measuring 214 feet in length and standing 2.5 feet above ground level.

Native Americans of the Late Woodland period constructed this ceremonial mound between 750 and 1200 AD, with William Canfield documenting it in 1859.

This mound serves as a testament to the engineering capabilities of Late Woodland societies, requiring organized labor and advanced construction techniques.

The archaeological site occupies 0.3 acres at coordinates 43.488611, -89.670833, with plastic markers indicating the original location of destroyed feet sections.

Among thousands of prehistoric earthworks in North America, this structure remains the only preserved human-shaped effigy mound on the continent.
