The earthwork group consists of a rectangular enclosure, 6 feet high and 130 feet by 300 ft, and two less distinct circular enclosures. The works are situated on the east side of the Scioto River and attributed to the Adena and Hopewell cultures.
The rectangular earthwork and the circular enclosure north east of it can be seen from the road to the north of the complex, but the rectangular enclosure is only barely discernible due to the lay of the land. There is no parking on the road. The site lies on private property and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Note: Children refuse to sell family farm to preserve ancient mounds.
