Short Woods Park Mound is a Native American mound located in Sayler Park. It is believed to have been built by people of the Adena culture. Measuring 38 feet high, the mound is an ellipse, approximately 175 feet long and 140 feet wide.
The mound has been excavated by the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History and Science. Among the many artifacts recovered were various grave goods and thirty-nine skeletons that were buried in log tombs. According to radiocarbon dating, the individuals buried in the mound lived approximately 2,000 years BP.
Because of its proven value as an archaeological site, the Short Woods Park Mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
