Largo School Ruin
Largo School Ruin is a small 2 or 3 room ruin overlooking the old Largo School house. This site is fortified and it provides an excellent view of the canyon below. Tree ring samples date this site at 1721+, 1736j, 1736, and 1737g.
200 foot cliffs prevent access from below on the north and west, but the pueblito may be reached from the level mesa top from the south and east. Although this site has suffered from considerable vandalism, there are scattered constructional debris on elevated ledges at the cliff base.
Another single room ruin, not pictured, is located on a boulder top 30 meters below in a location not seen from the upper site.
This ruin has been stabilized by the BLM and has been entered in to the National Historic Places Register in 1975. The west room is built against a rock. The southeast corner of the west room is burned but there is no evidence of a hooded fireplace. Some juniper from the roof lie scattered in the unit while only a small portion of the roof continues to exists.
