Description: Fenceline and the peak of a hill on the northern edge of the General Electric plant near Mount Vernon in Black Township, Posey County, Indiana, United States. The hill is an archaeological site known as the Mount Vernon Site or the "GE Mound"; discovered by accident in 1988 and heavily looted, it was the center of a pioneer Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 criminal prosecution. Despite the damage, it remains a significant archaeological site and is thus listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
