162 years have passed since this tower was built by the British. It has 52 holes. Through which the British had stopped about 10 thousand Santal rebels by firing during that time.

Hundreds of revolutionaries were martyred in this. While the British used to fire bullets from the Martillo tower, the Santal revolutionaries were only dependent on the traditional weapon bow and arrow in their defence.
