Moreover, from the architectural point of view, it is observed that the fort is more like a solitary jail or detention camp. Few of the structure of the fort structure was made up of bamboos and wood. However, it was redesigned by the British and was well constructed with stones in the later time period.

The other stone has the patriotic poems inscribed as mark of respect for the freedom fighters.
