SACREDENCLOSURES. 95 



About four miles above the Milford work, on the East fork of the Little Miami, 

 IS a small rectangular work. It is entirely isolated. Its sides measure each seven 

 hundred feet ; and it has gateways at each corner and midway on each side. 



A very good survey of this work was made many years ago by Gen. Lytle of 

 Cincinnati, and published in Worden's Appendix to Du Paix's work on the antiqui- 

 ties of Mexico. 



PLATE XXXIV. No. 2. 



The work indicated by the letter A is situated upon the opposite side of the 

 Little Miami, from that last described. The plan, which is also from a survey 

 by Gen. Lytle, sufficiently explains its character. Several mounds occur in the 

 vicinity of this work, and a few miles below, at Newtown, there is a considerable 

 group of large mounds. 



About twenty miles above these remains, upon the East fork of the Little Miami, 

 is a singular work, a plan of which, B, is here given. It was also surveyed by 

 Gen. Lytle, and a plan of it appears both in Du Paix's work, and in the appendix 

 to Hugh Williamson's work on the climate of America. Whether both plans are 

 from the same survey is unknown ; they however coincide in all important particu- 

 lars. Without vouching for the entire accuracy of the plan, we may be permitted 

 to say that there can be no doubt of the existence of a work of this general and 

 extraordinary outline, at the point indicated. Its thorough investigation is an 

 object greatly to be desired.

ANCIENT WORKS, GREENE COUNTY, OHIO. 



Number 3. — This group is situated on Massie's creek, about half a mile below 

 the fortified promontory already described, Plate XII, No. 3. It has no features 

 worthy of special notice. The walls of the semi-circles are about five feet in 

 height. 



Number 4. — The polygon here presented is situated on the right bank of the 

 Little Miami river, seven miles above Xenia, Greene county, Ohio. It lies chiefly 

 in S. 24, T. 4, and R. 8, and closely resembles several of the Kentucky works, 

 plans of which are given on Plate XIV. It was probably designed for defence. A
