but work was not completed and nothing of importance was found. This 

 is the only clearly identified mound in the whole group not within a circu- 

 lar enclosure. About one hundred and fifty feet south of this little mound, 

 within the cultivated field, are the remains of a large circular enclosure 

 with a gateway facing the east and the large enclosure already described. 

 It is two hundred and fifty feet in diameter and the ditches are from three 

 to five feet or more in depth, notwithstanding years of cultivation under 

 the plow. There is the appearance of a mound in the western part of this 

 enclosure, about forty feet in diameter and about two feet high. 



One hundred feet south of the above is another enclosure one hundred 

 and fifty feet in diameter, with ditches two or three feet in depth. It has 

 also an opening to the east, but not so well marked as the others. This en- 

 closure is almost immediately east of the house on said tract and just east 

 of the old orchard. A long period of cultivation has doubtless much low- 

 ered its walls. There is a slight indication of a mound near by, but if it is 

 one the plow has so completely obscured the evidences that it is not safe to 

 call it one. About two hundred and fifty feet to the southeast^ in the edge 

 of the grove, is another enclosure one hundred feet in diameter, with ditch 

 on inside two to two and one-half feet in depth. It has also a gate or open- 

 ing on the east faciug the large enclosed mound. Sixty feet to the southeast 

 of the above is another enclosure ninety feet in diameter, with inside ditch 

 eighteen to twenty-four inches in depth, and having an opening to the 

 northeast facing the large enclosure and mound. There is also a small 

 mound in the center of this enclosure. 



Going another hundred feet to the southeast we find another enclosure 

 one hundred and twenty feet in diameter, with a mound in the center from 

 three to five feet high. The ditch is from two to three feet deep. There is 

 an opening on the northeast facing the large enclosure and mound. East, 

 slightly north of the above and adjoining it is another enclosure one hun- 

 hundred feet in diameter. The ditch is shallow, not moi'e than eighteen to 

 twenty-four inches in depth. The embankment on the west and adjoining 

 the preceding seems to be common to both enclosures. The space between 

 the ditches of the two is about twenty to twenty- five feet. To the northeast 

 is a low, wet place. The opening is not very clearly marked in this last en- 

 closure but it seems to be to the east. North of this last, about three 

 hundred feet in the cultivated field, are very strong evidences of another 

 enclosure, but it has been so disfigured by the plow and long cultivation 

 that I do not feel safe in saying positively that it is an artificial enclosure.
