Mt. Horeb Earthworks Complex
Mt. Horeb Earthworks Complex submitted by hgbarb : Mt. Horeb Site 1, situated above the Elkhorn Creek, consists of an inner henge (possibly a wood or stone henge) bounded by a ditch and circular embankment. The Adena people built mounds like this for mortuary and ceremonial purposes. Photo Credit: Holly Barbariccia - @TrobadoraB on Twitter (Vote or comment on this photo)
The mound contains a perfect circular 105-foot (32 m) diameter platform surrounded by a 45-foot (14 m) wide ditch and a 13-foot (4.0 m) wide enclosure with a 33-foot (10 m) wide entryway facing to the west. The site is well-maintained - located on a bank 75 feet (23 m) above Elkhorn Creek. Mt. Horeb Site 1 is owned by the University of Kentucky as "Adena Park", and access is restricted to alumni and others with a connection to the University.
