At HASTINĀPURA, BHITA and BANGARH the upper courses of the ring-well are made of wedge-shaped brick which probably formed part of the well-head (Pande, 1966, p. 214). At SISUPALGARH and BHITA a square stone is placed on the mouth of the ring-well having an aperture of the same diameter as that of the ring-well. Rope-marks are also noticed on the inner edge of the stone cover of the ring-well at SISUPALGARH. The solitary example of a detachable domical lid of terracotta placed over the mouth of a ring-well is from TRIPURĪ. - [Previous: v1.c19.s15.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.19) - [Next: v1.c19.s15.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.21) - [Up: v1.c19.s15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15) ## Linked texts (3) - [Hastināpura](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.hastinapura) - [Sisupalgarh](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.sisupalgarh) - [Bhita](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.bhita) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.20) · Pramāṇa
