It is very extensive and might certainly have held a large number of troops, but the fortifications cannot be called strong, and the unsubstantial walls and gateways differ much from those of Shiváji’s fortresses. The appearance of the fort however from some points is remarkably fine. The outer walls surround the top of the hill, which in many places has a good natural scarp. At the south end the hill stretches out in a narrow tongue, and at the end of this is a tapering pinnacle of rock detached from the hill by a narrow chasm to a considerable depth. It may be assumed that there was no fort here in the sixteenth century as the hill is never mentioned by Portuguese writers. - [Previous: c7.s9.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9.44) - [Next: c7.s9.46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9.46) - [Up: c7.s9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9.45) · Pramāṇa
