Norwood Mound is a prehistoric Native American earthwork mound located in Norwood, Ohio, United States, a suburb of Cincinnati. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 1974.
The mound is an elliptical earthen structure, roughly 100 by 130 feet in diameter and 15.5 feet in height. It is originally believed to have been taller. Located within the City of Norwood's Water Tower Park at 656 feet above sea level, the mound is the highest land elevation in Norwood and one of the highest elevations in all of southwest Ohio. The size, shape, and location of the mound suggest it was constructed by people of the Adena culture during the Pre-Columbian era. Archaeologists believe the mound was used by the Adenas for religious ceremonies and smoke signaling. An 1895 source describes it as "the only Indian mound now remaining in the vicinity of Cincinnati." There were mounds in Downtown Cincinnati at the time of arrival of the first white settlers.
