This Pd also marks the most active phase of construction at Maheshwar. Mound I has yielded remains of a brick platform of two courses with a cistern oriented s.-w. to n.-e. and crude pebble wall running n.-s. The bricks measure 37·5 × 25 × 7·5 cm. In the top layers fragments of moulded bricks have been found, but the exact nature of the structure could not be determined. Several fragmentary tiles imply the existence of tiled roofs, the tiles being fixed to the rafters with iron nails.
