The Hell Island Site (7NC-F-7) is a prehistoric archaeological site located near Odessa, Delaware. The site is a type site for a class of ceramics found at other sites in the region. Artifacts recovered from the site during excavations in 1965 yielded then-distinctive tempered pottery with cordmarking on the interior and exterior, as well as evidence of occupation of the site from the Archaic to the Late Woodland Period.[2]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
