A huge n. to s. diversionary embankment, 240 m long and 2·25 m wide, is seen near INM V. It is constructed of rubble set in mud mortar at the base, the upper part being probably earthen. A channel, 4 m wide and 3·50 m deep, runs almost parallel to the wall. The water thus diverted could be stored in the channel and could have been used for irrigating the neighbouring fields, the excess water being drained out through a stream near the s. end of the channel.
