r <br />Location 514-3 <br />Type: Historic habitation <br />Area: 10m x 30 m (ns x ew) <br />Legal Location: SWV a , NW14, SEU of Section 26. T118N, R23W (Figure 1) <br />LanJform: Upland <br />Ele /ation: 990 ft. NGVD <br />Vegetation: Fallow field <br />Geomorphology: On an artificial bench, produced by removing earth from the hillside. <br />The area immediately surrounding the foundation is fill dirt, and the surrounding area <br />has been scraped, removing the upper soil horizons. No subsurface archeological <br />deposits were noted, and the property is considered to have a low potential to contain <br />such deposits. <br />Present Investigation: The foundation and well were obser\'ed during the pedestrian <br />survey. Shovel tests were excavated around the foundation at five meter intervals; <br />these tests produced no anifacts. Steven Peterson, a local resident, reports that this <br />foundation was the house that was occupied when the Underhill Farm was in operation <br />in the early 1900s to the 1960s. <br />Archeological Data: The property consists of a reinforced cement foundation w'ith a <br />nearby modem water well. The well is a cement slab with a steel pipe rising out of the <br />slab. The only artifact observed was a cinder block. No artifact collection was made. <br />Interpretations: The property is presumed to be the location of the farmhouse <br />associated with the Underhill Farm. <br />Significance: Because of the lack of intact archeological deposits greater than 50 years <br />old, OSA has declined to issue a site number for this property. <br />Recommendation: No further work. <br />Location 514-4 <br />Type: Historic foundation, presumed outbuilding <br />Area: 6 m x 7 m (ns x ew) <br />Legal Location: SEV a , SE'/4, SEV a of Section 26, T118N, R23W (Figure 1) <br />Landform: Upland spur <br />Elevation: 1100 ft.
