NEWSTEAD. 



* Site No. 31. On Lot 42, at Falkirk, on the south side of Mur- 

 der Creek at Fisher's Falls, is a village site which is probably 

 identical with that described and plotted by Squier on page 

 56, and Plate 11, No. 2, in ' 'Aboriginal Monuments of N.Y." 

 He described it as having been surrounded by an embank- 

 ment of an oval shape and as having "caches". The earth 

 work has disappeared. On account of a heavy growth of 

 weeds on the site nothing of its surface can now be seen. 

 Several bodies are said to have been found recently in some 

 sandy knolls just west of the site. 



w Site No. 32. A village site is reported to have once existed on 

 Lot No. 6 on the south side of the Batavia Road on what was 

 the Vandeventer farm. It is probably identical with that 

 mentioned by Squier, on page 56, "Aboriginal Monuments 

 of N. Y.", as on the "Vandewater" farm. 



This site is now occupied by buildings and meadow.
