Highbank Park Works, Archaeological site in Delaware County, Ohio, US
The Highbank Park Works consists of a semi-elliptical embankment with four sections standing three feet high, bordered by a shallow ditch near the Olentangy River.
The earthwork complex was constructed between 800 and 1300 CE by members of the Cole culture, who established settlements along the Olentangy River in central Ohio.
Archaeological excavations in 1951 revealed pottery and flint artifacts from a midden, indicating the presence of early Native American settlements at this location.
The site remains protected within Highbanks Metro Park, allowing visitors to explore both the archaeological features and natural surroundings through designated pathways.
Two Adena era mounds, known as Muma Mound and Selvey Mound, stand within half a mile and one mile from the main earthworks complex.
