Some of the structures that is found in Indus Valley Civilisation.

They are:

Granaries


A special feature of the cities of the Indus Valley Civilization was the large granary that existed. As a structure it is particularly impressive and massive, running 150 feet long, 75 feet wide and 15 feet high. This gave the granary an astounding 168,750 cubic feet of space. The granary was divided into 27 compartment in three rows. The granary was well ventilated and it was possible to fill grain in from outside. The large size of the granary probably indicates a highly developed agricultural civilization.
