Due to this additional deposit the n.-w. part of the mound rises to a height of about 12 m. This Pd is characterized by the use of \*lakhauri\* brick in the construction of structures and medieval glazed pottery. There are two parallel walls running e.-w. and a revetment on its outside, the inner wall made of clay lumps and measuring 10·10 m in width and the outer wall and the revetment constructed in \*lakhauri\* brick. The interior of these walls was filled with the earth dug from the adjacent part of the mound and over this filling were constructed \*lakhauri\*-brick houses. In order to retain the inner filling of earth walls of \*lakhauri\* brick were also constructed at places. Two such walls have been partially encountered in the excavated area. The whole complex seems to have formed a part of a late medieval fortification. An interesting structure is a \*hauz\* of \*lakhauri\* brick plastered with lime. Also belonging to this period is a house built of \*lakhauri\* brick along with a brick-paved lane. - [Previous: v2.c44.47](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.47) - [Next: v2.c44.49](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.49) - [Up: v2.c44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.48](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.48) · Pramāṇa
