Fort Ancient Archaeological Park museum. This site is the largest hilltop earthwork enclosure, located near Oregonia, Ohio. The edges of the hilltop were flanked by earthwork enclosures built by the earlier settlement of Woodland people who were part of the Hopewellian exchange. It was late settled by the Fort Ancient peoples.

| "Stone circles" mean something else here in Ohio. The original stones are buried. These replicas are carefully marked with coins laid down underneath so no one will mistake them. |
