ette. According to the French, it was a triple stockade built under 

 English supervision. Clark's plan indicates an earthwork, almost 

 rectangular surrounded by an elliptical double stockade intersected 

 by a cross line at the short axis. At the white settlement the lines 

 were distinct. At the northwest corner was a bastion and there were 

 several heaps of refuse. A curving ditch 40 rods north was a 

 puzzling feature. There were caches and abundant recent relics. 

 Frontenac described the fort as large and strong. The town appears 

 on Romer's map of 1700 on the east side of Kiechioiahte creek. 



50 A recent site on the Gates farm, lot 5, Pompey, is known as 

 Bloody hill. It is 23^ miles southeast of James ville and is largely a 

 cemetery. 



51 A smaller early village on the Reed farm one-half of a mile 

 northwest of Watervale on lot 19. 



52 Recent and early cemeteries on the Sedgwick farm, lot 27, 2 

 miles northwesterly from Pompey Hill. Mostly recent relics. 



53 Recent cemeteries on lots 28 and 29 a mile west of Watervale. 



54 Cemeteries on Luke Fitch's farm near the road to Watervale 

 and on adjoining land on lot 19. There was also a recent village 

 site here a little farther north. This seems the village mentioned 

 by Greenhalgh in 1677. 



55 A large early village on a hill on J. Christopher's farm, lot 6, a 

 mile east by south of the last. Iroquois relics. 



56 Fort above the creek on lot 54, on the Roberts farm. 



57 Village site on the Benedict and Wright estates on lot 54, 

 Pompey. 



58 From a recent site on the Hibbard farm, lot 6, great quantities 

 of iron and other articles were taken. Circular elevations supposed 

 to be for lodges were reported regularly arranged in rows. Clark 

 says also that '' on the late Doctor Western's farm could be dis- 

 tinctly traced the remains of a small fortification with a burying 

 place. . . . Not far from this last, on the farm of the late John 

 Clapp at an early day were plainly traceable the lines of an earthen 

 fortification." All relics were recent. 



59 Indian hill is on lot 9 north of the road, and was described by 

 Clark as on the farm of Isaac P. Jobs. The French, who came there 

 in 1654 and in following years, speak of the palisades and gates. In 

 1677 Greenhalgh said it had no defense. Clark said that early set- 

 tlers remembered distinctly an earthwork there with walls 4 or 5 

 feet high, which had one gateway and was circular with a diameter 

 of from 300 to 350 feet. The general site is an ellipse about 1050
