The most recent structure, believed to have been made from timber, had a symmetrical cruciform-shaped stone base and a plinth measuring 272 ft wide including its four corner staircases. It was topped by an iron spire featuring 13 copper-gilded chatras.[53] The stupa housed original relics of the Buddha and its remains were excavated by British archaeologists in 1908–1909 at Shaji-ki-Dheri near Peshawar.[53] A stupa-shaped reliquary recovered from the nearby Jaulian monastery (see image on left) is believed to represent a likely historical appearance of the Kanishka stupa.[54]

In the 400s CE, Chinese Buddhist pilgrim Faxian described it as the "highest of all the towers" in the "terrestrial world".[53] He noted its height to be 400 ft (122 m), which was also corroborated by Xuanzang in his seventh century Records on the Western Regions.[55] Song Yun, who passed through the area in c. 520, recorded that the structure had 13 stories and was up to 700 ft (213 m) high.[56] Other estimates include heights of 500 ft (152 m) or 560 ft (171 m).[53] The Korean monk Hyecho, in his travel memoir from c. 726, observed it as "a great stupa which constantly glows".[57] Modern research suggests the height of the Kanishka stupa to have been close to 400 ft, including the spire.[53] Currently, the largest stupas intact in Pakistan are variously reported as the Shingerdar Stupa in Swat District,[58] the Dharmarajika Stupa in Taxila,[59] or the Mankiala Stupa in Rawalpindi District.[60]
