the southeast. The embankment has an elevation averaging two feet. 
The plain immediately west of this circle is the site of an ancient — 
cemetery, human remains having been found ata depth of two feet; the 
interments, as far as known tothe writer, being in the horizontal posi- 
tion. The extent of this cemetery is about two acres. Nos. 3, 
4 and 9 ef this group are a chain of mounds ranging from southwest to 
northeast. They aretwo hundred yards south of work No. 2, and on 
the same level. The largest of these mounds (No. 3) has an elevation 
of twelve feet, and a circumference at base of about two hundred and 
fifty feet. The next, No. 4, has an elevation of five feet, circumference 
at base one hundred and fifty feet. Mound No. 9 is about three feet ° 
high, and has a base about the same dimensions as No. 4. Mound 
No. 5 is located about four hundred feet east of work No. 2, and in a 
field annually cultivated, it is of very regular shape, and has an eleva- 
tion of three feet, with a circumference at base of one hundred and 
fifty feet. Mound No. 10 is situated on the same plain, and three 
hundred feet east of No 5, elevation five feet, circumference at base one 
hundred and fifty feet. 
On the lands of Mr. Gano Martin can be traced two parallel lines of 
embankment. (Group D, No. 11 on chart) extending E.N.E. for 
about three quarters of a mile. These parallels are about two 
hundred feet apart, and where they are protected by the fence lines, are 
about eighteen inches in height, and from ten to twenty feet in diameter. 
They formerly, I am told, terminated in a small circle, the site of 
which is occupied by the residence of Mr. Martin. They evidently 
had some connection with the interesting work on the lands of Mr. 
Turner, described by Col. Whittlesey and others previously referred 
to. The next group— | 
GROUP C 
Is located on the first and second plain along the line of the Cincinnati 
& Eastern Railway, and the line of the Batavia turnpike, on surveys 
Nos. 427, 500, 65, 32,567 and 624, and in the vicinity of the village of 
Newtown. No. 1 of this group, a mound, is located on the west bank 
of Dry run, just north of the Batavia turnpike crossing. Its elevation 
is about eight feet, diameter at base about eighty feet. 
Mounds Nos. 2,3 and 4 are located on the second plain of the river, 
which has here an elevation ranging from forty to sixty feet. Nos. 2 
and 3 are about two feet higher respectively, are annually cultivated, 
and will before long become entirely obliterated from that cause.
