Similarly there are instances of circular wells with lining of terracotta rings below and square tops paved with brick. Wells of either variety are ubiquitous in this period right up to the middle of the 1st millennium A.D. or even later at all sites particularly in the plains and are generally found as parts of building complexes such as monasteries, houses, etc. - [Previous: v1.c19.s15.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.12) - [Next: v1.c19.s15.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.14) - [Up: v1.c19.s15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.13) · Pramāṇa
