The fort and its surrounding village are made of mud but the encroachments with the expansion of the town have left the fort crumbling. The fort is said to be 150 years old with as high as 7.6 m walls. The site is also listed as a national heritage but it is in crumbling state due to lack of any maintenance. The fort had been constructed and developed by the Nawab of Bahawalpur who named it after a local Nawab Ahmed Khan Abbassi.
