Located in the village of Woodlawn,[2] the mound occupies an unusual position atop an esker, high above most of the surrounding terrain. Its dimensions are approximately {{convert|8|ft}} in height and {{convert|75|ft}} in diameter.[3] Overlooking the West Fork of Mill Creek, it was once part of a farm owned by the Burchenal family.[1] A test excavation of the Burchenal Mound was conducted in 1850.[1] However, the results were never published; consequently, the cultural affiliation of its builders is unknown. Based on excavations of similar mounds, it is believed to be the work of the Adena or Hopewell peoples, who typically interred their dead and various grave goods within their mounds. While no further excavations have been conducted since 1850, soil tests have been performed on the surface; these have demonstrated that the mound is built primarily of sand. Its shape is almost perfectly circular.[3] In 1975, the Burchenal Mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its archaeological potential.[2] See also
