Rapidan Mound is an ancient Manahoac burial site on the south bank of the Rapidan River in Western Orange County, Virginia, east of Scuffletown. The mound is next to an ancient Manahoac village called Stegara that explorer Capt. John Smith noted on maps made after his 1608 visit to the region. Scientists have dated the burial site, and 13 similar ones in the region, to the late prehistoric and early contact era with some artifacts at the site suggesting human activity as early as A.D. 660.
