Rocky Fork Park Site, Archaeological site in Highland County, Ohio, US

The Rocky Fork Park Site contains double circular earthwork enclosures positioned on a hilltop within Rocky Fork State Park in eastern Highland County.

The site features ceremonial earthworks constructed by Native American Hopewell peoples who inhabited this region of Ohio until approximately 700 CE.

The eastern gateways of the circular enclosures create an amphitheater-like formation, indicating the site served ceremonial purposes for indigenous communities.

The archaeological site spans three acres of land and maintains its original configuration as the field remains unplowed despite historical clearing for pasture.

The eastern section of the earthwork formation rises eleven feet above the surrounding hillside, while the western portion integrates naturally with the ridgeline.
