village, the name of which was recorded, of extensive character, situated on a tract of sloping ground on the west side of the present Soundview avenue, where it is intersected by Leland avenue. The site was covered by about sixty lodges. In the vicinity, south of the village, there was probably an extensive plantingground. Fishing stations were situated along the shore, and at Clasons point. The site was explored by Alanson Skinner for the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, in 1918.

INDEX TO STATIONS

D). An important native station, the name of which has not been recorded, consisting of a palisaded enclosure, or fort, on the high mound on the west bank of Westchester creek, which was the site of the Screven residence. A village probably extended on the south side of the hill, the site being marked by debris. On the extreme point is a large shellheap containing the discarded shells used in making wampum beads. The place was seen by Adrian Block on his voyage through the Sound in 1614. The hill, being about 60 feet in height, is quite conspicuous from the water.

10. Burial point (Map VII, D). On Zeregas

neck, or Old Ferry point. This place is said to have been the site of a buryingground to which the natives brought their dead from the interior country. There are deposits of shells and scattered native objects along the shores of the point, indicating native occupancy. The probable site of the burial place is a mound facing Morris cove on the border of the marsh at the foot of the Ferris estate. The place is in full sight of Castle hill (9).
