  • Fort Ancient (33 WA 2) is a Native American earthworks complex located in Washington Township, Warren County, Ohio, along the eastern shore of the Little Miami River about seven miles (11 km) southeast of Lebanon on State Route 350. The site is the largest prehistoric hilltop enclosure in the United States with three and one-half miles (18,000 ft) of walls in a 100-acre (0.40 km2) complex. Built by the Hopewell culture, who lived in the area from the 200 BC to AD 400, the site is situated on a wooded bluff 270 feet (82 m) above the Little Miami. It is the namesake of a culture known as Fort Ancient who lived near the complex long after it was constructed. Maintained as a state historical park, the site was designated a National Historic Landmark for its significance. The State of Ohio purchased the land and made it Ohio's first state park in 1891. In addition, this is part of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, one of 14 sites nominated in January 2008 by the U.S. Department of the Interior for potential submission by the United States to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

  • L'ancien fort de Lebanon est un ensemble de tumulus et de murs de terre situé dans l'état américain de l'Ohio, dans le comté de Warren, le long de la rive orientale de la rivière Little Miami, environ sept miles, soit 11 km, au sud-est de Lebanon. Ce site archéologique est la plus grande enceinte préhistorique au sommet d'une colline aux États-Unis, avec 5 500 m de murs dans un complexe de 100 acres, soit 0,40 km2. Construit par les peuples autochtones de la culture Hopewell, qui ont vécu dans la région de 200 av. J.-C. à 400 apr. J.-C., ce site est situé sur une falaise boisée de 82 mètres au-dessus de Little Miami. C'est l'éponyme d'une culture connue sous le nom de Fort Ancien, qui perduré à proximité de ce complexe longtemps après sa construction. Conservé et entretenu comme parc historique d'État, le site est désigné monument historique national pour son importance. L'État de l'Ohio a acheté le terrain et en a fait le premier parc d'État de l'Ohio en 1891. Il fait de plus partie du Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, il est ainsi l'un des quatorze sites proposés en janvier 2008 par le Département américain de l'intérieur pour une soumission potentielle par les États-Unis pour être inscrits sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco.
