Another form of glacial deposit found in the town, in well- defined formation, is the long serpentine ridge or esker which records the presence of a drainage stream flowing under the icecap and grading its channel with sand and coarse gravel.1 Upon emerging from under the ice, these streams deposited their loads of sand, gravel and clay, in the order of their coarseness, now to be seen in gravel banks, sandplains and clay beds. These ridges or eskers are composed chiefly of coarse gravel and sand and have been much used for road material. The town gravel pit at the corner of Ipswich and North Streets is an excellent example and the ridge paralleling the railroad track nearly to the East Boxford station and removed in recent years by Connolly Brothers and the Boston Sand & Gravel Co. was a part of the somewhat continuous ridge that began at the Merrimac river and passed out to sea at Beverly.

THE TOPOGRAPHY OF TOPSFIELD
Another feature of the action of the retreating ice sheet was the leaving behind of huge masses of ice which as they melted produced depressions called ice-block holes or kettle-holes. Some of these holes are of remarkable depth with very steep sides. Between Howlett brook and Mile brook there is one that is forty feet deep. Another equally remarkable kettle- hole is beside the old Andover-Ipswich road, about half way between North Street (which it leaves near the Stone house) and the Linebrook road near Poor's point. On the Nehemiah Perkins farm, now owned by Thomas E. Proctor, between Mile brook and Ridge Street, is a remarkable series of kame-ter- races, with very steep sides. The old William Averill house cellar is beside them. These terraces are the ridges which were left after the berg-ice in front of the large ice-block at Hood's pond had melted. The steep banks of gravel and sand on the southerly shore of this pond are excellent examples of ice contacts, exhibiting the accompanying flood-plain of sand and gravel at the southeast, extending across Topsfield. The great Wenham swamp having an area of some two thousand acres, was formerly occupied by a large ice-block, which ex- tended northward into Topsfield.2
Between Fish brook and Mile brook, an area two and one- half miles long and two miles wide, the surface is marked by short ridges and circular terraces, with kettle-holes in consid- erable number. South of Fish brook, between River Street and Middleton road, there is an ancient sea beach with sand- dunes and wind-blown sands underlaid by rounded gravels. These sea beach deposits of sand and gravel formerly extended in a southeasterly direction to the present sea shore.
Topsfield has in its meadow land large deposits of peat, sometimes of considerable thickness. These deposits formerly were regularly worked previous to the introduction of coal which began to be used by farmers about 1854. The lighter and more fibrous peat, usually full of leaves, roots and sticks, was cut nearer the surface and this was burned in the spring and fall. The blacker, heavier peat contained fewer roots, burned more slowly, gave out less heat, and consumed to a heavy, yellow ash. It closely resembled the first step from vegetable substance to mineral coal. This peat was usually burned in the winter and kept an excellent fire through the night. The turf house was a common sight in the meadows. The triangular space between the railroad, the Valley road and Wenham Street, now overgrown with bushes and young

maples, formerly was cut over for peat. Seventy-five years ago more than a dozen disused peat houses could be seen here, slowly decaying and falling to the ground.3 In some of the meadows, charred stumps and charcoal in the form of small sticks, have been found three feet or more below the surface, indicating that the swamps had been burned over at some time before the peat was formed.4
Bog iron was found in considerable quantity in the brooks and meadows and sold to the iron works set up at Saugus and later at the works, established in 1668-9 on Fish brook in Row- ley Village now Boxford. The ore now called limonite, brought four shillings and six pence an ox cart load delivered at the works. The presence of copper ore was believed in the early years following the settlement when Governor Endecott proposed to open a copper mine. Other attempts at mining copper were made in 1770 and 1839. (For detailed account of these mining operations see Chapter XXIII.)
There are three traditionary accounts of gold and silver having been found here and we will let Samuel S. Mckenzie, the old-time surveyor tell the tale as he did at a meeting of the Essex Institute held January 7, 1861 and printed in its Proceedings. Vol. III. pp. 54, 55.
"On the eastern side of Rea's Hill is a spring, near the Danvers road. It is said that as Joseph Porter was once clearing it out, he found a lump of gold, or a stone containing that metal, worth from twenty to forty dollars. Nothing more is known of it. The ground at the place shows signs of the action of water, multitudes of bowlders being strewed in all directions around."
About fifteen rods south of the house of Ephraim Perkins, and four rods or more east of an angle in the road, is the appearance of an old excavation, now filled up and overgrown with grass. It is said that one Moses Perkins, then owning the land, mined there for silver, assisted by Buntin. Harris E. Perkins, the present owner of the lot where this excavation was made, states that his father told him on several occasions that the miners hoped to find copper.
One Smith formerly lived at a place called the "Old House Field," later owned by Silas Lake. While digging a well, he found what he supposed to be a lump of gold. One day during his absence, a strange gentleman called and requested a drink of cider, which the mistress went to the cellar to draw,

leaving the stranger alone and the gold lying on the mantel. When she returned both had unaccountably disappeared, and were never seen again. A mysterious circle drawn with chalk on the center of the floor where she left him, was the only vestige remaining. The obvious conclusion of people at that day was, that the Devil had thus stolen their gold. This, of course, is a tradition unsupported by other proof. The house stood easterly from Mr. Lake's, on an old way passing by the old parsonage, which stood in the "Parsonage Pasture."
There is an area of horn blende granite in the valley be- tween Pingree's and Towne's hills and on both sides of Nichols brook. Several outcrops of Middle-Cambrian sedi- mentary rocks, blue limestone, blue and red slates, and quartz- ite appear south of the river. Minute fossils have been found in the limestone notably beside Rowley Bridge Street on the Peterson-Wheatland farm.5 South of the village, on High Street, there are outcrops of Cambrian slates. About two hundred yards northeast from the corner of Rowley Bridge Street and Copper Mine Road on the Peterson-Wheat- land farm, there are several outcrops of a dull red shade, that approaches a sandstone. Yellow and red ochre have been found in Topsfield, also graphite, in minute scales.
Boulders, large and small abound on all the hills. A large one, fourteen feet long and two feet in diameter, formerly lay on the hillside pasture southwest of the Turnpike bridge. It was egg-shaped and almost buried in the earth. When the bridge was rebuilt in 1853, this boulder was split up and worked into it.
