Harlan I. Smith (also known for his articles on the Northwest Coast) really packs some information about the Fox Farm into this book.  It is an in-depth study of the ethnology of this site  and is very highly regarded in professional archaeological circles.  Extremely well-written and authoritative, I recommend it highly.  A look at the table of contents (below) will illustrate the scope of this work.

"The Fox Farm is situated in Mason County, Kentucky, about fourteen miles south southwest from Maysville, three miles north from May's Lick, and one mile west of the road leading from May's Lick to Maysville. It is not far from the historic Washington, made famous by Harriet Beecher Stowe in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." It is in the Algonkin linguistic area. The land is rolling, and cut by numerous creeks which discharge into the north fork of the Licking River and so their waters eventually reach the Ohio. These streams cut through nearly horizontal strata of the fossili-ferous limestone of the Ordovician (Lower Silurian). The Fox Farm lies on Lower Maysville and Upper Eden, formerly supposed to be about the equivalent of the Lorraine and Utica of the New York series. The Eden consists of shale and thin limestones, the latter of which tend to slip out on the surface of the steep hillsides under the action of frost and rain. Many of these are carried by water some distance down stream, and in places are deposited in such a way as to resemble a pavement, each piece standing on edge, but leaning down stream. The Eden outcrop is always marked by steep slopes and a relatively poor soil; the overlying Maysville, however, gives rise to good soil. Many of these slabs of limestone were carried by the prehistoric people of this vicinity to the top of the high land lying between the streams and there used in the construction of graves. There are numerous salt springs in the neighborhood which in early historic times and before, were visited by deer and other animals for the purpose of licking the salt deposited about their edges. Consequently, many of the names of the nearby villages terminate in the word "Lick." The country was heavily wooded and timber was so common that even at the time of our work there (1895) rail fences could be seen which contained rails of the now valuable black walnut."

"A large prehistoric village site, a number of graves, and mounds situated on the higher part of this farm near three natural sink holes where the underlying lime rock has dissolved have been known for many years. While Prof. Cyrus Thomas,1 refers to an enclosure known as "Fox's Fort," probably one of the sink holes, three miles northwest of May's Lick, which was reported to him by Mr. Gerard Fowke, no full account of them has been published, nor are there in any publication illustrations and descriptions characterizing the culture of the people who formerly lived there. Specimens have been collected on the surface of this site, especially by Mr. Gerard Fowke and by Col. Frederick H. Bierbower of Maysville as well as by casual visitors to the place. A considerable collection from this site may be seen in the Museum of the Public Library at Maysville."
