Ancient Ruins sites have so far been found to have three main topographical configurations, each of which has multiple minor variations in how alien structures like obelisks are arranged.  
Ancient Ruins sites have so far been found to have seven different topographical configurations.


;Layout Alpha 1:
<gallery>
In this layout, obelisks and other artificial structures are organized around a central, conical earthwork topped by a crater-like depression. Smaller circular earthworks of varying size surround this cone. All Alpha-type sites have the first third of Guardian data entries.

;Layout Alpha 2:
*'''Alpha layouts''' - 4 identified variants. All Alpha-type sites have the first third of Guardian data entries.
A variation of Alpha 1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. All Alpha-type sites have the first third of Guardian data entries.
*'''Beta layouts''' - 3 identified variants. All Beta-type sites have the second third of Guardian data entries.
 
*'''Gamma layouts''' - 2 identified variants. All Gamma-type sites have the final third of Guardian data entries.
;Layout Alpha 3:
A variation of Alpha 1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. All Alpha-type sites have the first third of Guardian data entries.
 
;Layout Beta 1:
These 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. All Beta-type sites have the second third of Guardian data entries.
 
;Layout Beta 2:
A variation of Beta 1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. All Beta-type sites have the second third of Guardian data entries.
 
;Layout Beta 3:
A variation of Beta 1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. All Beta-type sites have the second third of Guardian data entries.
 
;Layout Gamma 1:
This layout is considerably larger than the previous ones, with several massive earthworks in new, more complex geometric designs. All Gamma-type sites have the final third of Guardian data entries.
