There are several monuments which due to their remote locations stay completely off the radar of our historic communities. Very few people know about them and hence their historic importance remains uncovered . I believe one such unknown monument is a fort situated in village Islampura, at around 17-18 Km from Narnaul city.
Fort at Islampura village
I came to know about this fort from local historian Sh. R.L.Saini. There isn't much written about this fort in the history books till now so who built it, when and why, are still unknown.

This square shaped fort is now situated in the fields between two villages- Islampur and Serolli. There is only one entrance to it. This fort has high walls, with bastions on each corner. Stairs are there on each wall for reaching the top. Inside the fort there are remains of what could have been rooms once.
