BALLA'LGAD FORT.

Balla'lgad Fort, in Achad village ten miles east of Umbargaon, stands closely surrounded with forest on a hill about 200 feet high. It is a very small place not more than eighty feet in area. The fort gate is in ruins. The works, including a small parapet, are about fifteen feet high and seven thick. Inside is a low thatched building, which, with a ruined reservoir of bad water, takes up almost the whole of the interior. In 1862 the fort was ruinous with no water and no supplies.
