6 2 IN KOHGALU TRACTS [Chap. II entrance hall, E, measuring 9 feet by 10 feet, from which both the court and the long room to the east of the central court, B, could be gained. Narrow windows, only 1 foot wide, pierce the enclosing walls in both the north-east and south-west corner rooms. The walls throughout are built with rubble set in very hard plaster, and the entrances vaulted with rather flat arches. Proceeding from this ruin, /, westwards across the dry flood-bed the wall foundations of many smaller dwellings were noticed ; also what looked like a paved street, 8-9 feet wide. Due south of the mouth of the gorge and about 300 yards from it rises a small mound to a height of about 15 feet. No remains of walls are visible on its slopes, which are thickly covered with grass. But it appeared very probable that the mound hides some larger structure. Immediately at its foot walls of a ruin 30 feet square emerge from the soil. About 160 yards farther south lies a ruin, IV, still occupied by graziers, but embedded in refuse. It comprises a range of three barrel-vaulted rooms parallel to each other, each room 20 feet long and 9 feet wide. A detached wall 38 feet long, facing the line of their entrances, has a large stone standing upright at each end with a hole, 6 inches in diameter, drilled through its top. More interesting and larger than any of these structures was the ruin of a fortified enclosure, //, about 100 yards from the last-named to the south-west (see Plan 5). Walls of cemented stonework, 2 feet 3 inches in thickness, approximately orientated, form a rectangle measuring outside 97 feet from north to south and close on 79 feet across. They appear to have been strengthened by small bastions or buttresses too badly decayed for exact measurement,
