Syed M Masum tells me it’s the tomb of the Ruler of jaunpur Sher Zaman Khan from race of farrukhabadi nawab.

But hardly any care, tiles have fallen off and there was no one from ASI here though the main tomb was locked & keys weren’t with the family looking after it.
A faqeer & his family living nearby look after it.
