From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Erech
      (LXX., "Orech"), length, or Moon-town, one of the cities of
      Nimrod's kingdom in the plain of Shinar (Gen. 10:10); the Orchoe
      of the Greeks and Romans. It was probably the city of the
      Archevites, who were transplanted to Samaria by Asnapper (Ezra
      4:9). It lay on the left bank of the Euphrates, about 120 miles
      south-east of Babylon, and is now represented by the mounds and
      ruins of Warka. It appears to have been the necropolis of the
      Assyrian kings, as the whole region is strewed with bricks and
      the remains of coffins. "Standing on the summit of the principal
      edifice, called the Buwarizza, a tower 200 feet square in the
      centre of the ruins, the beholder is struck with astonishment at
      the enormous accumulation of mounds and ancient relics at his
      feet. An irregular circle, nearly 6 miles in circumference, is
      defined by the traces of an earthen rampart, in some places 40
      feet high."
