The first layout of Ancient Ruins sites consist of one main complex of apparent earthworks or buried structures in a roughly-pentagonal shape, with two sections of concentric circular earthworks or structures. Scattered among the complex are numerous clusters of obelisks, which remain functional despite their abandonment, and inert pillar-like structures placed at intervals. 1.1 and 1.2 sites have the same decryptable data entries. | |||

Three days before the Melville Expedition was revealed, CMDRs Madwax, mGtRd, and Nooblz discovered a sixth Ancient Ruins site on planet 8 C of the COL 173 Sector KY-Q d5-47 system. The following day, they also located a second site on the same planet, marking the first example of a planet featuring more than one site. The CMDRs withheld their discoveries, hoping to locate a third site that they believed was on the planet before making an announcement, but the Melville Expedition information caused them to alter their plans and announce the find early.<ref name="6 and 7" /> | Three days before the Melville Expedition was revealed, CMDRs Madwax, mGtRd, and Nooblz discovered a sixth Ancient Ruins site on planet 8 C of the COL 173 Sector KY-Q d5-47 system.
