Carl Potter Mound, Ancient burial mound in Champaign County, Ohio.
The Carl Potter Mound stands on a small ridge within a pasture field in southeastern Union Township, near the town of Mechanicsburg, Ohio.
Local investigations in the late 1930s revealed human remains and a grooved stone axe, suggesting the presence of additional untouched burials within the structure.
The mound structure reflects burial practices of Native American societies, providing evidence of their ceremonial traditions in the Ohio region.
The archaeological site sits east of State Route 56, with coordinates at 40.039111°N latitude and -83.601250°W longitude in Union Township.
