These are the remains of what is now called Casa Grande, part of an ancient Hohokam farming village in the lowland desert of central Arizona. It is the largest structure known to exist in Hohokam times; 4 stories high and 60 feet square. It was completed @ 1350 AD. The farming village surrounding it was approximately 2 square miles and had a population of approximately 1150 inhabitants (that’s the size of many of the small towns that now lie adjacent to Casa Grande). Nobody really knows where the Hohokam went after abandoning Casa Grande, or why they left.
