MARLBORO TOWN 



l-igurc Jj. — Reilse fou.nd at exterior cur.ner ol Wall A-ii and Wall D. 



was probably the site of a privy, the remaining bricks 

 hax'ing been part of a brick floor in front of the pit. 



STRUCTURE G 



A few feet southeast of Structure D, another much 

 smaller pit was found, surrounded on two sides by a 

 partial-U-shaped single row and single course of 

 bricks. This brickwork measured ') feet in length, 

 with a 4-foot appendage at one end and a 7-foot 

 appendage at the other. The pit was small and 

 shallow. Typical ceramic aitifacts were found, as 

 well as fragments of black basaltes ware (ill. 32) and 

 some early 19th-century whiteware. The function 

 of this pit is unknown. 



PIT AT JUNCTION OF WALLS A-II AND D 



Just north of the northeast coiner of the wall system 

 a small trash pit was uncoxered. It contained a 



scattering of wine- and gin-bottle sherds, a few miscel- 

 laneous, small, ceramic-tableware fragments, and 

 about one-third of a blue-and-white Chinese porcelain 

 plate (figs. 55 and 77). 



UNIDENTIFIED FOUNDATION 



NEAR POTOMAC CREEK (STRUCTURE h) 



About 60 feet from the shore of Potomac Creek, at 

 the southeast corner of the old road that runs from 

 the highway to the creek, bordered by Wall A, were 

 indications of a brick foundation. This structure was 

 explored to the extent of its width (about 15 feet) for 

 a distance northward of 17 feet, then the east wall 

 was traced 22 feet farther north until it disappeared 

 into the bankside and a thicket. The excavated area 

 disclosed quantities of brickbats, a layer of soil, a 

 number of burnt bricks, a layer of black charcoal ash, 

 and a 6-inch deposit of clay. The brick walls were
