20. A village site remains on lot 96, where arrow-heads, celts, and a little pottery are found. This is on the Seneca River, and smaller ones occur at Cross Lake.

35. A smaller one on a hill on lot 81 inclosed 1¼ acres. It is described by Clark as having straight walls on three sides and a curved wall on the fourth. It was probably also elliptical, but has been leveled.

36. On lot 83 was a large Indian village. The writer has ascertained that Clark was mistaken in saying that hundreds of grooved axes were found there. None were found, and they are very rare in Onondaga County.
