Fort Lockhart is located at 33°33′22″N 70°55′08″E﻿ / ﻿33.5562°N 70.9188°E﻿ / 33.5562; 70.9188.[13] Due to the forts not being visible to each other, Saragarhi was created midway, as a heliographic communication post. The Saragarhi post, situated on a rocky ridge, consisted of a small block house with loop-holed ramparts and a signalling tower.
