This mound measures 215 x 110 m with maximum height of 7 m and is situated west of Bostan village approximately 2 km from Panjgoor. Some burnt brick structures resembling bastions are witnessed in the western part of the mound. The mud brick structure and the bastion suggest that it may have been a Kachha fort or mud brick settlement. Pottery included fine levigated clay potshards of bowls, pitchers and plates. Few painted black on red ware in geometrical designs were also registered, apart from coarse potshards with grooves on body.
