| Discovery of line. | SECTION IV.—RUINS OF AN ANCIENT BORDER LINE The account given in Section iii of the sites that yielded relics of prehistoric occupation has already taken us over that portion of the southern delta in which I discovered ruined posts marking an ancient defensive line. There is no need, therefore, to preface my survey of their remains by a general description of the area. We may conveniently start this survey from the conspicuous ruin, R.R. Iv, the Burj-i-chdkar, which first attracted my attention to this Limes-like line and which approximately marks the centre of the section stretching north of the debouchure of the Riad-i-biyâbân. The ruined post, as seen in Figs. 48o, 481, is a massive pile still rising to a height of about 25 feet. It forms, as the sketch-plan, Pl. S9, shows, a square, approximately orientated, of about 6o feet outside. Slender towers, now almost completely decayed and probably less than io feet in diameter, were added to strengthen the corners. The interior comprised two stories, but the disposition of only the ground floor could be ascertained. This contained three vaulted chambers, 31 feet long, the one in the centre being about 14 feet wide and the flanking ones io' 4". Access to them lay from three smaller rooms along the southern face through which the gate led. But the dividing walls were too much broken here to permit of exact measurement.
