was a stockade on a high bluff at a bend of the stream, perhaps the 
one built by Sir William, Johnson for the Tuscaroras, this being then 
called Tuscarora creek. The Turtle tree was there. 
3 A trail from Oneida to Chittenango crossed the creek a little 
above the turnpike bridge and passed by an old stockade and 
orchard on Col. Sage’s farm near Chittenango village——Clark, 
1:384. The farm was once known as the Moyer and later as the 
Osgood farm.—Hammond, p. 602. Perhaps the Zeniinge of Zeis- 
berger. 
4 A cemetery north of Cazenovia lake and,two miles east of Oran, 
on the Hitchcock farm. Recent articles. There are lodge sites 
also. 
5 Many small camps at the head of Cazenovia lake and many 
signs of recent tillage. 2 
6 The plan of the stockade west of Cazenovia village in Clark’s 
Onondaga and copied by Squier, is too large and wide. Fig. 60 by 
the writer represents the actual form. It is on the Hunt farm and 
is On a narrow ridge between two deep ravines. It was occupied 
not far from 1600 but no European articles have been found. A 
barbed bone fishhook suggests some knowledge of Europeans. 
Pottery with human forms and faces as ornaments, and some 
peculiar clay pipes are among the relics. The post holes across the 
ridge at either end from north to south are yet (1898) distinct. The 
east line is about 330 feet long and the length from east to west 
about 790 feet, rapidly descending the ridge. Nearly midway the 
width is about 100 feet. There is one gate near the northeast 
corner and two at the west end. The total area is about four and 
one half acres. There are caches at the west end. 
7 Lodges and relics occur near the village at the foot of Caze- 
novia lake and there was a fish weir in the outlet. There are also 
confused stories of a fort in the village. 
8&8 L. W. Ledyard reported a fort on the Swetland farm about 
four miles southwest of Cazenovia village whence he had a fine 
grooved stone. ‘He could give no farther account of it, but it has 
since been reported to the writer as a circular earthwork four miles
