“In short the city of Garhgāon appeared to us to be circular, wide and an aggregation of villages. Round the Raja’s house an embankment has been made and strong bamboos have been planted on it close together to serve as a wall. Round it a moat has been dug which is deeper than a man’s height in most places, and is always full of water. The enclosure is one *kos* and fourteen chains in circumference. Inside it high and spacious thatched houses have been built.
