c12.s4.4

The first entrance (Fig.24) and (Illn. 62) to the fort is located to the North-west of the Agastya tank in between two boulders looking west. From the entrance a passage, 15 m, runs towards east and immediately to the left is another entrance looking east and heading to the main 3rd entrance. In front of the 2nd entrance is a huge rock having the inscription of Narashimhavarman Pallava. At the other end of the rock is raised a high fort wall from the ground level connecting the tank and the hill-north-south, thus completely blocking the entrance from the east at this site (Fig.23).
