Published in ARASI 1924-25, Plate XXVI (c). Title: ‘Harappa: Mound B, Pit IV, A Rectangular Cell Crossed by a Drain’.
“The fourth trench or the northernmost pit revealed the remains of several structures, the best preserved one of which is a rectangular cell measuring 7’7” x 6’8” internally (Plate XXVI, c). The walls which are only 11” in thickness have coarse mud joints and in the interior of the cell was revealed a covered brick drain but no other objects of any kind”.

The same structure, but with an additional brick pavement excavated subsequently, published in Vats 1940, Vol. II, Plate XXXIV (a).
Title: ‘Pit IV. Remains of a Room and Drain Stratum IV with a Later Pavement in the Background, from South West’.
Vats described Sahni’s excavations: “Close to the Extension of 'Pits I and II are two more pits numbered III and IV, each measuring 50 ft. sq. These along with the first two were excavated by the Rai Bahadur. Pit III, situated about 16 ft. to the south of the excavation described above, was sunk from a slightly higher level than the remaining three. The first three pits stood in one line from north to south, but the IVth lies about 70 ft. due south-west of Pit III.” [p. 168]
“Pit IV was excavated to a depth of 10 ft. to 11 ft. 6 in. On its eastern side was found a small room of Stratum IV which measures 7 ft. 7 in. by 6 ft. 8 in. internally, and is bisected by a covered drain coming from the north side. Behind this room, a little higher than the drain, was a fragmentary brick-on-edge pavement of Stratum Ill, with a. contemporary wall to its left (Pl. XXXIV, a). In the west part of this pit there are four or five broken walls of the IIIrd stratum.” [p. 169]
