Of the latest Harappan phase (Ic), only isolated walls remained, apparently representing small and unimportant houses. Mound I, to the south-west of Mound II, showed vestiges of further houses and streets, with the usual drains, and had evidently remained "Harappan" until the end. More interesting was a part of a massive, well-built brick wall, 4¾ ft.–5 ft. 4½ ins. wide and upwards of 80 ft. in length, with a lighter return-wall at its southern end, which was partially uncovered on the level ground immediately north of Mound II. The fact that the interior face of the wall was rough showed that the surviving fragment had revetted an internal platform, such as that which carried the granaries at Harappā. The scale and excellence of the work indicates an important structure worthy of further exploration.
