1720, it was allowed to decay; but in 1749 the place was resuscitated and new buildings were erected. Grass-covered mounds and excavations are all that now remain of the forts, the Village of several hundred inhabitants, church, ecclesias- tical establishments, governor's residence, etc., that once existed. The principal fort, designed and laid off by the French and afterwards constructed by the English, was called Fort Amherst. Many relics have been found, and the old cellars, and outlines of the earthworks and burial ground, can be distinctly seen. The air of romance that clings to the spot, the fine view from the site of Fort Amherst, with the still more beautiful outlook from ”Ringwood” on the elevation west of the fort, and the presence of an Indian encampment near by, make the locality decidedly interesting.
