Remains of ‘a first class military fortification’ have been discovered at Caban, the ancient capital town of Vijaya. ‘They cover a rectangular area of over 1,500 yards from north to south and of 1,200 yards from east to west. It was protected by an arm of the Binh Dinh river on the north, and a strong wall, without any flanking, on either sides. The wall was built of earth with revetment of limonite, and was pierced through by tunnels for the ingress and egress of a small brook. There are a number of high mounds on all sides which probably conceal some towers or gates.’¹
