Desalpur in Kutch has retained traces of a stone wall 4m in basal width and 2.50m in extant height. It has been reinforced with corner salients and towers. Huge blocks of stone, often as big as 1.5m to 1m are used in the construction. The excavators have not given the extent of the fortified area. (IAR, 1963-64, p. 17).
