130 47. East of lot 44 was an angular earthwork and stockade, inclosing five acres, with a burial-place. (Clark.)The plan given by Clark would seem to be reversed by present indications. This is a prehistoric site, and has yielded very fine articles; among the rest, a clay pipe with 14 human faces, and earthenware with faces luted on at the corners. On lot 68 there is a site of about 3 acres.

48. The site on lot 69 is described by Clark as similar to No. 47, but it is on higher land and has some European relics.



50. On lot 100 is a ditch with a stockade inclosing 8 acres, with raves within and without. The bodies were placed in rows, which face the east and west alternately. (Clark.) A historic site, judged by relics. The post-holes and graves can yet be seen.

49. On lot 99, and like the last (Clark.), graves are yet distinct.

On lot 98, touching the town line of Fabius, is another circular site on a hill-top, and of early date, though the writer discovered European articles mixed with the peculiar pottery. This is not mentioned by Clark.

54. This was "Indian Fort." An earthwork on lot 33, inclosing ten acres, with a straight ditch across the point, the flanks being defended by steep banks of the ravine. Pottery and early Indian relics abound, but with some European articles. (Clark.) Some have supposed this was occupied by the Onondagas just before they moved to Indian Hill. Through this town and on the Seneca and Oswego Rivers brass and iron arrow-heads are sometimes found, of European origin, occasionally perforated, and of the same pattern as those found with the "Skeletons in Armor" at Fall River.
