south of Cazenovia and one and one half miles east of Delphi. It

9g Mr Ledyard said there were graves on Quarry hill two miles 
southeast of Cazenovia. This may refer to a place on the Jackson 
farm one and one half miles southeast of Cazenovia village where 
A. G. Richmond got a large grooved boulder in 1897. This lay a 
little west of a comparatively modern Indian village site. 
10 Mr Ledyard reported an inclosure three miles northeast of 
Cazenovia village, east of Bingley and near the quarry. This or 
another has been described a mile west of Fenner. In the History 
of Madison county, p. 200, a breastwork with early relics is men- 
tioned east of schoolhouse no. 5. A skeleton was found in 1861 
while placing a flagstaff at the school. 3 
11 The Nichols’s pond site in Fenner three miles east of Perry- 
ville, has been thought the fort attacked by Champlain in 1615 and 
has more points of agreement than others. The identification is 
due to Gen. John S. Clark of Auburn, but the site is in the Oneida 
territory, not the Onondaga. A limestone boulder on the site and 
near the pond and which is over 12 feet long, is probably the original 
Oneida stone. The usual Iroquois articles are found but no traces 
of a palisade. Four lines of pickets may have furnished their 
own support without holes. The stockade must have extended 
some distance into the very shallow pond, now.sometimes dry, in 
order to secure an abundant supply of water. This is but a few 
inches deep. Ridiculous estimates have been made of the size oi 
the village, which was not more than 500 by 700 feet, not including 
the pond. The site is a low plateau, extending over 800 feet from 
the road on the east to the inlet and low land on the west. Relics 
occur only on the west side; nothing appears in the stony ground 
eastward. The northern part is a thin woodland, and no traces were 
found in a plowed field south of this and 500 feet from the west 
bank. The village was confined to that part east of the inlet. Not 
far from the mouth of this the outlet leaves the pond, flowing east 
southeast. Some caches appear on the northeast bank. The site 
is secluded, with no natural defense. The low lands on the west are 
subject to overflow, but the site fairly agrees with Champlain’s ac-
