The Dunns Pond Mound is a historic Native American mound in northeastern Logan County, Ohio, United States. Located near Huntsville,[2] it lies along the southeastern corner of Indian Lake in Washington Township.[1] In 1974, the mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a potential archeological site,[2] with much of its significance deriving from its use as a burial site for as much as nine centuries.[1]

Other Native American earthworks are located in the vicinity. A 1914 study found fifteen mounds on the southeastern side of Indian Lake and characterized this "remarkable" group of mounds as the premier location of archeology in Logan County.[3] Another four mounds in Washington Township, which were not included in the 1914 survey, are located on Lake Ridge Island,[4] a short distance to the north of Dunns Pond.[5] These mounds, the Lake Ridge Island Mounds, were listed on the Register on the same day as was the Dunns Pond Mound.[2]
