CHAUGAON
Chaugaon (Chopda taluka; 21°15' N. 75°10" E; p. 751), a small village, seven miles north-west of Chopda and 24 miles north of Erandol Road railway station (Surat-Bhusaval line), has, about a mile and a half to the north, a ruined fort, one of the Gavli Raj remains. Standing on a rising ground, it covers an area of 500 square feet, and is estimated to have cost Rs. 2,00,000. The fort plateau is reached by steps, and in the side of the hill are cisterns, some of them of carved stone. Inside the tort are a saint's tomb, two ponds, and four reservoirs.
