c16.s4.6

The outer wall (Section 3, fig.67) of the citadel is very thick about 6.60 m. wide at the bottom and slightly tapers upwards. The upper most part of the wall is disturbed almost throughout. At present, the maximum extent of the wall extant is 7.20 m. The core of the wall is made up of mud and pebbles. The blocks of stones used for the sides of the hearting i.e. core, are well laid, with big dimensions and roughly cut into rectangular forms. The exterior faces of them are roughly dressed.
