The bank which is cast up for the fortification
is now fully four feet in height, and thirty-three
in width, at the base covered with lofty timber.

The figure marked (A) is a very regular oval
mound 500 feet in diameter, from one extremity
to another the longest way, and 300 feet in
diameter the other way; perpendicular height is
about thirty feet. This mound is paved over
with stone, and has upon it trees of large size, as
well as the remains of decaying trees, which
after acquiring their full growth have fallen.
The two circles marked (B) are very perfect
globular figures. They are one hundred feet in
diameter, and about thrity feet perpendicular
height.

The remaining eight small circles represent
mounds which are from eighty to one hundred feet
in diameter, and from twenty-five to thirty feet
perpendicular height, being also globular figures,
and all covered with lofty timber. The semi-
circle (C) is a bank of earth thrown up to the
height of about three feet, its diameter about
one hundred and fifty feet.

Near the outer banks of this extraordinary
fortification are many large holes in the earth,
at least one hundred feet in diameter, and of
considerable depth. These are no doubt places
out of which the earth was in part taken for
making this work of labor.

The land through which we have passed to-
day, is a continuation of a country, very level
