According to tradition, Ant was originally a stronghold of the Jhojhas, until they were expelled from their forts here and at Mal by the Gaharwar Rajputs.[3] There is an enormous well here, where as many as four bullocks can work at the same time, said to have been built by the Jhojas.[3] There are also the remains of an old wall running from here past Mal to the village of Amlauli.[3]
