该遗址由8处巨型泥土建筑组成，位于俄亥俄河中游支流沿岸，有着1600-2000年的历史。它们是现今被称为霍普维尔（Hopewell）文化的土著传统中最具代表性的现存表现形式。精确的几何数据、庞大而整齐的顶部，都体现出其规模和复杂性。它们与太阳周期以及更为复杂的月亮周期保持一致。这些土垒建筑是祭祀中心，出土了用从远方获得的珍稀材料制作而成的精美祭祀用品。

This property is a series of eight monumental earthen enclosure complexes built between 2,000 and 1,600 years ago along the central tributaries of the Ohio River. They are the most representative surviving expressions of the Indigenous tradition now referred to as the Hopewell culture. Their scale and complexity are evidenced in precise geometric figures as well as hilltops sculpted to enclose vast, level plazas. There are alignments with the cycles of the Sun and the far more complex cycles of the Moon. These earthworks served as ceremonial centres and the sites have yielded finely crafted ritual objects fashioned from exotic raw materials obtained from distant places.
