Page and M. Ghosh (\*ASI—AR 1926-7\*, p. 135), resulting in the discovery of an e.-w. wooden structure running as excavated for a distance of about 137 m. It is a wall made of heavy wooden sleepers placed vertically in a double row, with similar sleepers joining them horizontally at the bottom and is thought to be a part of the wooden palisade seen by Megasthenes. In 1935 a similar structure was found at Gosainkhanda, 800 m to the e. of Bulandibagh but in a reversed fashion, viz. vertical sleepers capped by horizontal ones (\*ASI—AR 1935-6\*, p. 54). Remnants of the wooden structure have been found to have extended to other localities of Patna, though no coherent plan is available. - [Previous: v2.c42.243](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.243) - [Next: v2.c42.245](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.245) - [Up: v2.c42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.244](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.244) · Pramāṇa
