Earthwork in Greene County, Ohio.
A linear embankment built on the west side of a small plateau along Massie's Creek. Along with the natural steep drop-offs the result is an enclosed area in excess of twenty acres. The embankment has three entrances. Surveys by Squier and David show smaller embankments and mounds to the west of these entrances, but they have been damaged by plowing and cannot be seen today.

Robert Riordan (Wright State University) has excavated sections of the embankment and determined that it was made in several separate constructions between approximately 50 to 225 AD. His findings showed a pavement of rough limestone at the entrances. The enclosure construction during one period included a plastered stockade on the embankment, but this was later burned and capped with a further layer of earth and stone.
Today the entire enclosure is forested and can be visited by an indistinct trail, starting from a parking area. The Pollock works are part of the present day Indian Mound Reserve in Peterson Park, west of Cedarville.
