Dam at Tughluqabad (Mission for Indian History and Archaeology)
New Delhi, India

1959-62 Survey


Called Dam II of Tughluqābād. Located approximately 200 m south from the southeast part of the outer wall of `Ādilābād Fort. Grid ref. J-14

Dam II is in a location with similar topographical features as Dam I, and also runs in the north-south direction, but it is considerably smaller, with a length of approximately 80 m. The central part of the dam has completely fallen; the surface of the other parts has mostly collapsed, except for an extremely small part where there is stonework much like Dam I. It is presumed that this dam too originally had a sluice or similar facility, but there are no traces at all remaining. The date of construction, its purpose and functions can be thought to be the same as those of Dam I. Period II.

トゥグルカーバードの堰堤Ⅱとよぶ。アーディラーバード城砦の外城壁の東南部分の南方約200メートルのところにある。附図.J-14

この堰堤もまた,上述の堰堤Iの場合と同じような地形のところに構築されており,ほぼ同じく南北方向に走っている。しかし,規模は堰堤Iに比べてずっと小さく,全長約80メートルほどである。現在でほ,中央の部分はまったく崩壊しており,その他の部分もまた,表面はくずれ落ちているが,きわめてわずかの部分に,表面の石積みがのこっていて,堰堤Iの石積みとよく似た様相を示している。この堰堤にもまた,かつては水門のような施設が設けられていたと推定されるが,現在では,そのような痕跡は全く見いだせない。この堰堤の構築の時期や,構築の目的およびその機能は,すでに述べた堰堤Iの場合と同様であったであろう。第Ⅱ期。
