The Ita Fort is thought to be one of the early forts which the Chutia king Ratnadhwajpal initially built all around his kingdom from Biswanath till Disang. The bricks used in the fort hint to later repairs in the 14th-15th century. The ruins of a hill fort on the banks of the Buroi river bear the same builder's marks as the ones found in the ruins of the Tamreswari temple (Mukta-Dharmanarayan, 1442 A.D.) which indicate that the Chutia fortifications were spread till Biswanath. The location of Ita fort well to the east of Buroi shows that the Ita fort was also one of the Chutia hill forts.
