After the close of the Sircap period the next site at Taxila was at Sirsukh constructed probably under the reign of Kanishka to a date approximately up to 200 A.D. The citadel at Sirsukh placed inside the valley is rectangular with walls formed of diaper masonry and semi-circular bastions which are hollow on the ground and top level with a flat terrace on the inside holes in the walls for shooting. The remains inside Sirsukh belong to a large palace but nearby at Badalpur a Stūpa of Kushāṇa times and at Lalchak another late Stūpa of semi-ashlar masonry with coins of the white Huṇa were found.
