An archaeological assessment through Rapid Identification Survey (RIS) was carried out by ASAS archaeologists on request of WCLA. The results show that the buried structures were constructed, partially reconstructed and were repaired throughout Mughal Sikh and British periods. Several feet thick cultural deposit was observed during the assessment. This deposit is exceptionally rich in artifacts and if excavated systematically by archaeologists could produce material for a site museum.The structures are also very interesting from architectural point of view and could be a key to explore the change and the continuity in masonry practices inside the walled city of Lahore. The structures are deep rooted in Lahore’s history and an archaeological investigation could produce answers to many historical questions still unsolved about walled city and particularly about Khizri Gate and its environs.
