A
circular tower, originally surmounted by a flagstaff, occupies the crest
of the northern part of the Ridge near the University.
The tower commemorates the site where the British ladies and children
gathered on 11th May 1857, during the Mutiny, before they fled to Karnal.
It is also the site where the rebels made their last stand on 8th June
1857 before falling back behind the city walls.
