OBJECTS OF THE EXCAVATIONS AND A
SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS |

|
| Associated
with Phase II of the temple is the scrappy revetment which was built in a stepped fashion,
11 feet further south over the sloping debris of the earlier sea wall which evidently
could not have survived the invasion of Sultan Mahmud. In the third stage, the nature and the size of the sea wall underwent a
considerable change; from sea-wall it was turned into a fort wall.6 It was in consonance
with the elaborately resurrected temple which Kumarapala had constructed. Built about 6
feet further south, it had a basal width of nearly 40 feet and had the outside face
battered. |
