Crumbled House, Archaeological site in northwestern New Mexico, United States.
The stone structure features two room blocks and three segments descending from a mesa top, incorporating circular towers and high walls along the edges.
The Ancestral Puebloans constructed and inhabited this fortified settlement between 1100 and 1250 CE, establishing a strategic position near Chaco Canyon.
The architectural elements, including keyhole-shaped kivas and specific masonry styles, demonstrate strong connections to Mesa Verde building traditions and pottery craftsmanship.
The site contains eighty ground floor rooms, twenty-five second story rooms, and fourteen subterranean kivas built with sandstone cobbles from the surrounding talus slope.
An eastern moat separates the mesa from the adjacent plateau, adding a defensive element to this elevated settlement positioned 30 meters above the valley floor.
