axes made of syenitic rock were found, and in one instance to earthen vessels or jars of rude workmanship. Across the river, in an easterly direction from the fortification just described, is another fort, facing in the same direction. This was surveyed by Col. D. F. Hitt, in 1877, and from this I take the drawing (see Fig. 2). The sand-rock is from 35 to 40 feet perpendicular above the river, and on the eastern side of the bluff is a ravine 65 feet deep, nearly vertical. The earthwork extends from the bluffs on the river side to the bluffs on the western side of the ravine.
