A small outpost, also in Kutch, was excavated at Surkotada (IAR, 1970-71, pp. 13-15). Here the ramparts were of mud and mud-brick (40 x 20 x 10 cm). For the citadel part it was 7m thick at the base and at places a rubble veneer was applied. The published report speaks of the citadel and township adjoining each other but does not mention the area covered by either. More recently at a place called Kuntasi remains of ramparts have been noticed but the excavations have progressed only partially and nothing definitive can be said.
