6 There was an Indian village at the mouth of Cole's brook, on 

 the north side of the Delaware in Colchester. Some apple trees re- 

 mained (French, p. 260). 



7 Traces of fortifications near the mouth of Mill brook and 

 on the banks of the Delaware. Here are certain remains " which 

 bear a strong resemblance to works of art. Many suppose them to 

 have been ancient fortifications or works of defense. In the 

 vicinity was once found what was supposed to have been a stone 

 battle axe, and arrowheads existed in great abundance in that im- 

 mediate locality . . . There are two [fortifications] in number, 

 each of a circular form, and they were surrounded by a high em- 

 bankment protected by a deep ditch. The one on the east side of the 

 river has been passed over many times with the plow, but much of its 

 original form and symmetry are still visible. The other on the 

 opposite side, farther down the stream, is still surrounded by a deep 

 ditch, filled with growing trees and underwood, but has less regularity 

 and will not so soon attract the attention of the antiquarian." 

 (Gould, p. 50, 51.) This may be the one to which Schoolcraft 

 alluded in his report (p. 208), " On branch of the Delaware a fort 

 one thousand years old by trees."

 of the river, and the Wappingers lived on Matteawan creek and east- 

 ward to the Taghkanick mountains. The Sepascots were at Rhine-
