In some cases a square is defined by means ofa ditch inside of a circle, as shown in Figure 12,which occurs in connection with a large and sin-gular group of ancient works in Pike County,Ohio. The circle consists of an embankmentfive feet high, and is three hundred feet in diam-eter ; the ditch is three feet deep, and the squarewhich it forms is two hundred feet on each side.
