Fortified Hill Works, Ancient earthwork site near Hamilton, Ohio, United States
The archaeological complex encompasses 20 acres of hilltop enclosures with walls reaching heights between eight and ten feet along natural elevations.
Documented in 1847 by surveyors Squier and Davis, the site features ceremonial mounds and a defensive ditch constructed outside the primary wall structure.
The earthwork represents Native American engineering methods, featuring specific construction patterns that differ from standard fortification techniques of the period.
The Archaeological Conservancy maintains the site through preservation efforts, with future plans including research opportunities and educational programs.
LIDAR technology reveals detailed contours of the embankment walls, providing new insights into the construction methods used by ancient builders.
