Rehlu (Kangra District). 



The village of Rehlu, 2 miles N, E. of Shahpur, is situated at the 

 Damage to vil- head of a gently sloping debris fan, like those de- 

 age ' scribed in the last paragraph, of sub-recent clay and 



with boulders of Dhauladhar gneissose granite of great size and in great 

 profusion. It is probably largely redistributed moraine material which 

 originated in the higher snowy ridge of the Dhauladhar, rising steeply 

 to the north. The damage to houses here was about equal to that at 

 Shahpur. Twenty-eight persons are said to have perished in the ruins. 



The fort stands on an isolated ridge above Rehlu village and 200 — 

 300 feet above the latter. (See plate 2, fig. 1.) 

 Tts site also is composed of remade morainic material, 

 i.e., clay and large boulders of granite, all derived from the snowy 

 range above. The hill behind Rehlu Fort is composed of Nahan sand- 

 stone and Siwalik conglomerate, and there are cracks in the steep hill- 

 side running about N. W. — S. E. above the fort. These, I think, are 

 only surface cracks, there being no evidence of anything but motion with 

 gravity. The fort is a massive structure, standing four-square with 

 corner octagonal towers.
