The Tremper Mound and Works are a Hopewell (100 BCE to 500 CE) earthen enclosure and large, irregularly-shaped mound. The site is located in Scioto County, Ohio, about five miles northwest of Portsmouth, Ohio, on the second terrace floodplain overlooking the Scioto River.

==Site description==
The Tremper Works include a large earthen enclosure in the shape of a flattened oval. Measuring by , the oval was entered through an opening in the southwestern part of the enclosure. At the center of the oval is a large, irregularly-shaped mound. Believed by some to be an effigy mound built in the shape of an animal, although there has never been any conclusive proof of this.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tremper Mound and Earthworks-Ohio History Central )〕
The site was surveyed in the 1840s by Charles Whittlesey for E. G. Squier and E. H. Davis, and an engraving was included in their book Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley. The site was excavated by William C. Mills of the Ohio Historical Society in 1915. He discovered numerous postmolds at the base of the mound, revealing the outline of a wooden structure long by wide. The pattern showed that there had been a large building with several smaller chambers at its eastern end.〔
