Description: Effigy mound in the shape of a water spirit on the grounds of the Knute Reindahl House at 4007 Monona Drive in Monona, Wisconsin. It has been suggested that this mound, together with two nearby conical mounds now destroyed, served as a calendar marking the summer and winter solstices. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
