Various descriptions
Chahilburj [note 1] … On the south side of the fort, and under a low scarp facing the base of the hill on which the fort is built, are several chambers, some of which are slightly sunk into the face of the scarp and appear to have been divided by mud-brick walls: some are sunk almost entirely into the hill and below the surface of the ground. They have round arches and round arched recesses (MAITLAND in TALBOT 1886a: 330). SITUATION: Chahilburj is 28 miles from Zari [note 2], on the road to Balkh by the Balkhao stands on a semi-isolated hill at the point at which a large ravine, down which the road comes, joins the main stream. It is at the East of the Sokhtagi Valley [note 3]. The road at present forks just just below the fort, so that it commands the [river's] junction (MAITLAND in TALBOT 1886a: 330).
