Archaeological excavations in 1926-27 resulted in the discovery of east-west wooden structure running for a distance of about 137 meters. It is a wall made of heavy wooden sleepers placed vertically in a double row with similar sleepers joining them horizontally at the bottom. In 1935 a similar structure was found at Gosainkhanda 800 meter east of Bulandibagh but here the wooden structure had a reverse design viz. the vertical sleepers were capped by horizontal ones.
