Seip Earthworks
Large geometric earthworks in Paint Creek Valley, with the 9-metre-high Seip Mound at the center, part of a World Heritage Site.
About 25 km southwest of the city, beside Route 50, the site originally consisted of a circular enclosure, a smaller circular enclosure and a square enclosure. The central Seip Mound is about 9 m high and 73 m long, and it is the second-largest burial mound of the Hopewell culture. It has been reconstructed to its original appearance. There is a parking area, interpretive signs and a picnic area by the road, allowing close views of the mound. It is part of the World Heritage Site, free to visit, and is often combined with Fort Hill and Serpent Mound.
