The Great Serpent Mound is a 1,348-foot long and three-foot-high prehistoric effigy mound.

Serpent Mound is the largest serpent effigy in the world.

My question is without lawnmowers, how did these ancient peoples keep the surrounding vegetation from encroaching and obscuring the effigy?

"Beautiful home. If you like to cook you will find a Well stocked kitchen. Probably one of the best stocked kitchens we have stayed in. My only wish is that there was a Christmas tree up but we made it work by bringing our own small one. The home was easy to get to and very private. Would for sure stay here again and highly recommend. "
