Ghalghai Koashke or Ghalghai Na'arghe (Ingush: ГӀалгӀай коашке, ГIалгIай наIарге[1]) is the name of ancient Ingush outposts in the Assa valley of the Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia, historically also known as the Durdzuk Gates[2][3] or Gates of Durdzuketi.

[6] D. Malsagov suggests that the IX century geographer Ibn al-Faqih's report of the building of 12 gates and stone fortifications in the country of the Durdzuks by the Persian king Anushirvan, which A. Genko locates in the region of the Assa Gorge, is connected with old Ingush legends about folk heroes Koloy-Kant, Pẋagal Bärē, Seska Solsa, et al., who guarded the Assa Gorge from the invasion of enemies from the plane.

Among the defenders of these outposts, were many Ingush clans (teips), notably the nearby Egakhoy, Targimkhoy, Khamkhoy, Gäginäqan, Barkhanoy, Barakhoy, Barkinkhoy, Yovloy and Kokurkhoy (Ferta Shouli).

[8] “Since ancient times, in the mountains of the Galgai, the people had fortified settlements spreading to present-day Khevsureti and Tusheti.

Along the gorges of the rivers Terek and Assa existed stone walls called “Galgai Koashke” with watchtowers that secured the passages, the remains of which are still visible today.”[9]Many stone outposts and settlements can still be found on both banks of the Assa River in mountainous Ingushetia.
