  Anson 
  Hungerford 
  Esq., 
  and 
  is 
  n6>;v 
  entirely 
  obliterated 
  by 
  the 
  

   cultivation 
  of 
  nearly 
  fifty 
  years. 
  Its 
  place 
  and 
  relative 
  position 
  

   is 
  represented 
  in 
  outline, 
  on 
  sketch 
  No. 
  7, 
  which 
  accompanies 
  

   this 
  paper. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  resembled 
  the 
  work 
  near 
  it, 
  had 
  gateways 
  

   or 
  intervals 
  along 
  its 
  course 
  at 
  irregular 
  distances, 
  and 
  was 
  sur- 
  

   rounded 
  by 
  a 
  ditch 
  so 
  deep 
  that 
  a 
  team 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  drivenacross 
  

   it 
  without 
  great 
  difficulty. 
  

  

  A 
  short 
  distance 
  from 
  this, 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  range 
  and 
  lot, 
  and 
  on 
  

   premises 
  now 
  owned 
  by 
  Asa 
  Goodenough, 
  is 
  another 
  trench 
  still 
  

   in 
  perfect 
  preservation, 
  and 
  by 
  far 
  the 
  most 
  distinct 
  of 
  any 
  I 
  have 
  

   seen 
  in 
  northern 
  New- 
  York. 
  

  

  This 
  localit}^ 
  is 
  three 
  miles 
  south-east 
  of 
  Watertown 
  village, 
  on 
  

   the 
  summit 
  of 
  a 
  gradually 
  sloping 
  natural 
  terrace 
  of 
  Trenton 
  

   limestone, 
  in 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  an 
  open 
  w^ood, 
  and 
  commands 
  an 
  exten- 
  

   sive 
  and 
  pleasant 
  prospect. 
  

  

  Elms 
  three 
  feet 
  in 
  diameter 
  are 
  found 
  growing 
  upon 
  the 
  banky 
  

   while 
  within 
  the 
  enclosure 
  are 
  found 
  the 
  decaying 
  remains 
  of 
  

   oak 
  and 
  other 
  trees 
  still 
  larger. 
  

  

  In 
  one 
  place, 
  on 
  the 
  south-western 
  side, 
  the 
  bank 
  is 
  about 
  six 
  

   feet 
  above 
  the 
  bottom 
  of 
  the 
  ditch. 
  A 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  bank, 
  and 
  

   plan 
  of 
  this 
  work 
  (No. 
  7) 
  accompany 
  this 
  description. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  north-western 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Rodman, 
  Jefferson 
  

   county, 
  there 
  formerly 
  existed 
  a 
  remarkable 
  enclosure, 
  which 
  by 
  

   long 
  cultivation 
  has 
  been 
  obliterated. 
  An 
  outline 
  of 
  the 
  work, 
  

   as 
  near 
  as 
  can 
  now 
  be 
  known, 
  together 
  with 
  a 
  description, 
  was 
  

   furnished 
  me 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Jared 
  Freeman, 
  the 
  owner 
  of 
  the 
  land, 
  who 
  

   was 
  familiar 
  with 
  its 
  appearance 
  when 
  every 
  part 
  was 
  entire. 
  

   It 
  occurs 
  on 
  lot 
  No. 
  2, 
  in 
  a 
  gently 
  sloping 
  field, 
  near 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   small 
  sources 
  of 
  Stony 
  creek, 
  and 
  consisted 
  of 
  a 
  double 
  bank, 
  with 
  

   an 
  intervening 
  crescent-shaped 
  space, 
  and 
  a 
  short 
  bank 
  running 
  

   down 
  to 
  the 
  stream, 
  which 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  the 
  remains 
  of 
  a 
  dam 
  

   or 
  a 
  covered 
  way 
  to 
  the 
  water. 
  Beaver 
  dams 
  are 
  common 
  on 
  the 
  

   stream, 
  but 
  this 
  has 
  not 
  the 
  appearance 
  usually 
  seen 
  in 
  them. 
  

   Within 
  the 
  inner 
  enclosure 
  there 
  was 
  plowed 
  up 
  a 
  large 
  quantity
