measuring a little over two acres. 



Returnins; to the point of beginning excavation, the 

 brick wall which is extended north from stone wall A 

 (desi<;nated as Wall A-II) was followed for a distance 

 of 175 feet. Like Wall A I, it was a brick and a 

 half thick (a row of headers lying beside a row of 

 stretchers), and was represented for a distance of 36 

 feet by two courses. Beyond this point for another 

 30 feet, a shift in the contour of the land, allowing 

 deeper plowing in relation to the original height of 

 the wall, had caused the second course of bricks to be 

 knocked off. From there on, only occasional clusters 

 of bricks remained, the evidence of the wall consisting 

 otherwise of a thin layer of mortar and brick. 



Wall .K-II terminated in a corner. The other side 

 of the corner was of the same construction and ran 

 westerly at right angles for a total distance of 264.5 

 feet, passing beneath the highway (north of the turn) 

 and stopping against the southeast corner of a struc- 

 ture designated E. Extending south from Structure E 

 was an 84-foot wall (Wall E) a brick and a half 

 thick, laid this time in Memish bond (header- 

 stretcher-header) in several courses. 



Another east-west wall, of which only remnants 



were found, joined Wall E and its southern terminus. 

 Six feet west of Wall E this fragmentary wall widened 

 from three to four bricks in thickness in what appeared 

 to be the foundation of a wide gate, with a heavy 

 iron hinge-pintle in situ; beyond this it disappeared 

 in a jumble of brickbats. 



Upon completion of the wall excavations, a return 

 was made to Wall A, where a visible feature had 

 been observed, although not investigated. This 

 feature was a three-sided, westward projection from 

 Wall A, similarly built of Aquia-type stone, forming 

 with Wall A a long, narrow enclosure. The southern 

 east-west course of this structure meets Wall A 

 approximately 62 feet north of the creek-side terminus 

 of Wall A and extends 59 feet to the west. The 

 north-south course runs 100 feet to its junction with 

 the northern east-west segment. The latter segment 

 is only 55 feet long, so the enclosure is not quite 

 symmetrical. No excavations were made here. 

 However, in line with the north cross wall of the 

 enclosure, trenches were dug at four intervals in a 

 futile eflfort to locate evidence of a boundary wall in 

 the present orchard lying to the east of the road to 

 the creek.
