The Marshall Site is an archaeological site in the Marshall State Fish and Wildlife Area in Marshall County, Illinois, across the Illinois River from Chillicothe. The site consists of a boulder carved with five petroglyphs. The petroglyphs, which archaeologists believe were created by Native Americans between 1673 and 1835, depict three anthropomorphs, an L-shaped figure, and a possible avimorph.[2] The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 2014.[1]
