Spruce Run Earthworks, Archaeological site in Delaware County, Ohio.

The Spruce Run Earthworks consists of stone walls and mounds covering one acre of land near Galena in central Ohio.

The National Register of Historic Places added Spruce Run Earthworks to its registry in 1973, recognizing its significance as an Adena culture construction.

Native Americans of the Adena civilization engineered these earthen structures for ceremonial purposes, demonstrating their architectural capabilities and social organization.

Visitors can locate the site at coordinates 40°10′40″N latitude and 82°51′51.6″W longitude, surrounded by natural woodland areas.

The stone walls of the earthworks display evidence of intense heat exposure, resulting in partially fused stones throughout the structure.
