This is a typical brick tomb enclosure of this period, which translates into brick what was already being practised in stone. The only thing common between the two is the stone grave cenotaph carrying the sank type of inscriptions and carved designs as seen in the Tarkhan stone graves. The present enclosure stands in between the tomb pavilion of Tughril Beg and the tomb of Isa Khan II. It is standing on a raised plinth faced with stones. Internally, it measures 75-ft, by 69-ft, the longer side being east to west. The enclosure is entered through a high arched entrance from the east, contained within a glazed rectangular frame, much of which is now gone. Two false entrances are on the north and south. The enclosure wall has four arched windows on either side of the north and south false entrances while the corners have semi-octagonal alcove on the inner side.
