The II Enclosure (N-S. 750 m. E-W. 600 m.) is about 20 m. high and 20 m. broad at the bottom (Fig. 53, encl.II). It is similar in its outer measurements to that of the citadel, but in the core the two parallel walls, each about 2 m. wide are of bricks with 10 m. span inbetween (Fig.55). The brick walls (Illn. F.4) are completely well packed both on the interior and exterior. The profile of the wall is rather oval shaped, thus the fort wall is similar to that of the citadel.
