the mound farthest east had been excavated at its center, and several 
fragments of a human skeleton, together with a few fragments of burnt 
limestone were found in the earth thrown out. From the summit of 
these mounds a view can be had ranging over half of the county, the 
mounds on Linwood and Norwood heights, respectively, five and seven 
miles distant, being in plain sight, The point commands the river for 
miles in both directions. Fifty yards northeast from these mounds, on 
the same ridge, is located a mound (No. 5, Group F) having an eleva- 
tion of six feet, and a diameter at base of sixty feet; on its western 
slope an oak tree five feet in diameter is growing. Two hundred yards 
northward from this last mound, was located a mound about five and 
one half feet high, which was removed to make way for the Hawkins’ 
residence. In the course of the removal of the mound, a skeleton was ° 
found at its base in a horizontal position, under a layer of charcoal and 
ashes; the bones showed no indication of the action of fire. In the 
cranium of this skeleton, a triangular flint arrow point was found im- 
bedded. The site of the mound is marked on the chart by an asterisk, 
Northeastward from this ridge, in survey 620, on the lands of Mr. 
Crotty, located on the crest of a hill, is an oblong shaped mound (No. 6, 
Group F), having an elevation of eight feet, a diameter of seventy-five 
feet, and a length of one hundred and twenty-five feet. It commands a 
view of the Ohio and Little Miami rivers. About four hundred yards 
northeast from this mound, on the lands of Mr. 8. W. Markley, and about 
three hundred yards west of his residence, is probably the site of an aui- 
cient village (No. 7, Group F) covering an area of about two acres. 
The usual fvcauons such as fragments of pottery, flint, chips, animal a 
remains, etc., are plowed up. In the northern portion of survey No. 585, y 
on the lands of J. W. Markley; located on a hill top, is a mound three and — 
one half feet high, and having a diameter at base of forty feet (No. 7, 
ee Ee), Contimgins to the eastward until we reach the lands of © 
. J. Mathews, we find on a level hill top the usual evidence indicat- 
ing its former continued occupation as a camp or village (No. 8, 
Group F). 
GROUP G. 
This group occupies the southeastern portion of the township. On 
the lands of the estate of J. A. G. Morton, in survey 1679, on a bluff 
point just north of the New Richmond turnpike, is an ancient burial 
place (No. 1, group G). The method of inhumation seems to have 
been in the horizontal position as far as yet determined. The level
