Sullivan's expedition Gen. J. S. Clark speaks of " Cayuga Castle, 

 an Indian town containing 15 very large houses of squared logs, 

 on the south line of Springport ... on the north bank of 

 Great Gully brook, and from one to two miles from the lake." 



18 A site on lot 114 Ledyard is supposed to be Upper Cayuga. 

 There are fireplaces and a few graves with European relics and 

 many copper fish hooks. Gen. Clark speaks of " Upper Cayuga, 

 an Indian town of 14 very large houses, near the north line of 

 Ledyard ... on the south bank of Great Gully brook and 

 as appears on the map between one and two miles from the lake." 

 The distance is greater. 



19 East Cayuga, or Old Town, was a- quarter of a mile west 

 of Mapleton, on lot 95, Fleming. Area^ 10 or 12 acres east of the 

 creek. The rehcs are recent. Clark notes that " East Cayuga, or 

 Old Town, contained 13 houses, in the southeast corner of the town 

 of Springport as indicated on the map from three to four miles from

 this town at about this time/' which was 1779.

 a small stream on the other. 



24 Macauley mentioned a similar work near Aurora. It was 

 " two miles from the village, in a southwesterly (southeasterly) 

 direction, the area triangular, containing two acres. Two of its 

 sides were defended by precipitous banks, the third by an em-
