There are yet traces of an old palisaded work in 

 the township of Cazenovia, Madison county, about 

 two miles north of Delphi, of which Mr. Clark gives 

 the accompanying plan, Fig. 50. 



It will be observed that it essentially corresponds 

 with those in Onondaga county, already described. It 

 has an area of about five acres ; and numerous graves 

 of the Indians are to be found both within and without 

 the walls, in the vicinity. 



ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY,

 Beads of steatite, pipes and broken utensils of earthenware, the bones offish and wild 

 animals, shells, etc., occur, mixed with ashes and bits of charcoal, throughout the soil, 

 within and without the limits of the trench, and have been collected and carried 

 off in large quantities. Cultivation has nearly obliterated every trace of the 



enclosure ; but by the aid of several persons who were acquainted with the locality 

 when first discovered, the accompanying plan has been drawn, which is beheved 

 to represent the situation and extent of this work, before the land was tilled. 



" The ground formerly occupied by the trench, is at present the site of an 

 orchard, and used as a mill yard. Reference to this work is made in several
