The main road that passes through the III fort makes its way through the fort wall on the southern side near the bank of the Ānekere and to the west of the Diḍḍi-gate. The road leads to Sirsi. This wall is the smallest in height i.e. about 5 m. high and 10 m. wide and semi-circular in profile (Fig. 56, encl.IV). It is exclusively of mud. On the exterior side is a moat fed by the Ānekere in the south-west and Achakere in the north-east.
