 and the other in La Fayette. According to the French it was a 

 triple stockade built under English supervision. .Clark's plan 

 which appears in fig. 63 indicates an earthwork, almost rectangular 

 surrounded by an elliptic 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 puz- 

 zling feature. There were caches and abundant recent relics. 

 Frontenac described the fort as large and strong. The town ap-

 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.
