A small trench to the s. of the Qutub-Minar has indicated that this was the residential part of Lal-Kot, at least in Sultanate times, for on either side of a 1·52 m wide street here flanked portions of houses. Drains from these houses join an open lime-plastered gutter running in the middle of the street, which show several road levels. Another spot, where a black stone image of Viṣṇu dated in \*saṁvat\* 1204 (A.D. 1147) had been found, was also tapped. On a stone platform here is seen the exterior plan of a \*pañca-ratha\* shrine. Thickly built brick houses have been uncovered here one above the other.
