This pueblo foundation is from approximately 1130 AD, built by the Ancestral Puebloans. It is on a hilltop with Sleeping Ute Mountain to the south. There are multiple rooms, closely packed around a central Kiva.
The pueblo ruin is on a hill top above the Anasazi Heritage Center, a wonderful museum just to the west of the Delores. The museum is part of the Canyon of the Ancients Monument. A paved walkway takes you from the parking area to the hilltop. When I was there there were warnings about mountain lion in the area, and requests for visitors not to walk alone.
