The fort Sited atop the rare, dark Horn stone Breccia rocks, commands splendid agrarian views from its ramparts, which rise to 50-65 meters. Some distance from Neemrana is another fort Kesroli in Alwar district that is one of the oldest heritage sites. Historians trace it to the Matsya Janapada of the Mahabharata times.
