The Moar Mound and Village Site is an archaeological site in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio.[1] Located west of Morrow in Warren County,[2] it comprises two contributing properties — the village site and the Native American mound[3]:1381 — spread out over an area of 20 acres (8.1 ha).[1] One of the few remaining mounds in southern Warren County, the Moar Mound has been very well preserved from deterioration.[3]:1381
Believed to be the work of Late Woodland peoples, the mound is believed to be the burial location for one or more individuals and a range of grave goods. It is likely associated directly with the adjacent village, from which multiple burials have been recovered.[3]:1831 Archaeological excavations of the village site have yielded a wide range of artifacts, making the Moar Mound and Village Site one of Warren County's premier archaeological sites.[3]:1382
In 1976, the Moar Mound and Village Site were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places. Key to this designation as a historic site was their potential to yield archaeological information about the peoples that built the mound and lived in the village.[1]
