Description
Various descriptions
Man-made Buddhist rock temples and / or troglodyte cells and / or chambers near -Barikab- are just about mentioned by MacGREGOR (1879-1880 edited 1985: 170): Got off at about 11, Bridges lent me a pony which I rode up to the caves, then got on the one Lyall rode. SITUATION: Without revealing his source of information adds editor William Trousdale (in MacGREGOR 1879-1880 edited 1985: 170 note 271) that these caves are near Barikab [note 1], in the Jalalabad region, and belonged to a Buddhist monastic community in the 4th or 5th AD
