The site of this mound can be seen while traveling on Grand trunk road in Kala Shah Kaku. According to the Archeological Department of Pakistan, this mound belonged to 8 to 16th Century AD time zone. Tibba Kala Shah Kaku was one of the series of mounds that populated along the Bagh Bacha river(one of the tributaries of river Ravi in the ancient past). However, A. Cunningham did not mention this mound in his writings, while writing on the Bagh-Bacha mounds.
The original site of Bagh-Bacha mounds lies twenty-seven kilometers in the west of the Tibba Kala Shah Kaku.
The details about metropolises of Bagh-Bacha mounds were firstly found from the writings of Chinese Monk Hieun Tsang., who has visited India in the 6th century AD. Later these mounds were grouped by A. Cunningham in the 18th century AD.
For a long ago, the two-third land of Tibba Kala Shah Kaku has been occupied by private property owners. In a small portion of the total area of the mound, a graveyard has been present, on the surface of which one can still see debris and pottery items.
