The end point of the wall right over the northern bank of the river clearly exposes the core brick wall and the brick pitching (Fig. 18) work to the bank from the river bed to the middle of the bank, to over come the serious cutting along of the bank by the forceful currents of the river, that dash damagingly against the northern bank, where the fort exists. Hence it is very necessary to have strong brick pitching work at this point. At the opposite end the force of the current would affect more seriously the opposite bank, where therefore, a brick Ghāt is provided.
