Ilomayo (fig. 23).—Tliis is a large, compactly built pueblo ruin situated on a promontor}' on the west side of the Ojo Caliente about a mile and a half above Posege. The walls are of adobe about a foot tliick. There are seven kivas in or about the village. These vary from 30 to 50 feet in diameter and are all of the circular form. This village is well situated for defense, as it can be approached readily from the west side only. There is one main plaza or court which appears to have been completely closed.
