While doing some Google Earth surfing in the winter of 2010, I noticed an unusual formation in West Portsmouth, Ohio. It's was a circular pattern in a hilly area. It's approximately 1 mile wide, with smooth sloping sidewalls and has a center lift mound. Geology maps show glacier till is 100 ft deeper in the circle perimeter than the surrounding area. Geology bedrock maps show an exposed under layer. Apparently this was also an Indian worship site. As a side note, the locals are fighting over a giant rock (5ft sq.) that's been in the river for 100's of years. They report it to be sandstone, but I don't think sandstone could withstand erosion from river currents, like this stone has. Engravings on the rock are still intact. Meteorite ??? just a thought. I've been doing a little research for 9 months on impact craters, bedrock deformation, shocked quartz, history of the area, etc... I'd be interested in some help from professional academia to report the site as a possible new find.
