 Seip Mound is the central mound in a group of geometric
earthworks. Farming and erosion have degraded the surrounding earthworks leaving the
central mound an outstanding feature. It is 240 feet long, 130 feet wide, and 30 feet
high.
 Excavations
have revealed that prehistoric Indian buildings existed near the earthworks. Today,
visitors can see the location of some of these buildings as they are outlined by short
posts in the ground. The Hopewell Indians (100 BC-AD 500) built Seip Mound for burials.
This culture had a highly developed craft industry, as is evidenced by artifacts found
with bodies in the burial site.
LOCATION
Seip Mound is 14 miles southwest of Chillicothe and two miles east of Bainbridge, on
U.S. Route 50 in Ross County.
