Seip Earthworks, Archaeological site in Ross County, United States
The earthworks contain two circular enclosures and a square formation spanning 120 acres with walls reaching heights of 10 feet.
The Hopewell people constructed these ceremonial earthworks between 100 BCE and 500 CE, incorporating precise mathematical measurements and geometric patterns.
The central Seip Mound held ritual burials and contained artifacts including copper breastplates, textiles, and ornamental objects from distant regions.
The grounds feature interpretive trails, parking for vehicles, picnic tables, and shelters, remaining open to visitors during daylight hours.
Archaeological studies revealed that the square enclosure at Seip shares identical dimensions with other Hopewell sites, indicating standardized measurement systems.
