Poo. Kalagtung ruined castle. Photographer: Pindi Lal (Archaeological Survey of India).
- Scope & Content:
-
General view of site of ruins on a hill top, known as Kalagtrung. Francke (1914), p. 20: 'About a mile below the village of dKor, on a hill above the river, there exist the extensive ruins of an ancient fort called Kalagtrung or Kalag Kot. It is supposed, once to have been the seat of a Thakur. The Lambardar of Poo tells me that iron arrowheads have often been found in the vicinity ... We visited the site of the castle on the 14th July. Of ancient remains we found only sherds of hand-shaped pottery, sometimes with linear ornaments impressed on them. Only very little could be seen of ancient walls. The site was covered all over with large undressed stones, such as people still use for building purposes. In a few cases, the site of a former room could be seen, in still rarer cases that of a door. Part of an ancient staircase was in rather good preservation.'
