In 1791, Major Price described it as looking like the hull of a ship of war, with another hill opposite it with some places of devotion on its summit.

In 1862, it was described as a dismantled and uninhabited fort with a steep approach and a strong gateway, but no water and no supplies.

From the inside facing east is another cave pond called the Gavi, full of good water.

The tomb of Abdul Karim, a Musalman Saint, inside the fort is still visited by a few people.

The fort was the headquarters of an administrative sub-division with a treasury and had an establishment of a mamlatdar, phadnis, sabnis, havaldar and daffedar, two karkuns, three naiks, and one hundred and sixty sepoys.
