The Norwood Mound lies approximately {{convert|1.5|mi}} to the southwest.[1] During the late nineteenth century, local residents partially excavated the mound and the ground around it; their diggings revealed significant amounts of mica and divers types of stone tools, including axes, scrapers, chisels, and flint projectile points. These findings, combined with the location of the mound itself, have led archaeologists to conclude that Benham Mound was built by people of the Hopewell tradition.[4] Because of its archaeological value, the Benham Mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[3] References1. ^1 2 Ford, Henry A., et al.
