A small piece of the earthen wall and one very large, central mound are all that are left of the Seip Earthworks. (Well, they’ve been rebuilt to what archaeologists believe was their original size and shape.) The surrounding area has long since been tilled and leveled for farming.
Originally, the mound was part of a much larger earthwork that included surrounding walls, a full circle and a square enclosure. The circle and square may have been used for astronomical purposes as well as protection.
