PunjabFortProtected
It is a small mud fort, square in plan, with four bastions at the corners, approximately 18m apart. The bastions are 5m in dia. There is a square structure in the middle, now in ruins. The walls have disintegrated and therefore only survive 1-1.2 m in height. The fort was built by Aqil Khan, son of Kabir Khan Achrani in 1772 CE.
