In 1880 General Sir A. Cunningham (in his *Archaeological Survey of India*, Vol. x, p. 70), noticed thus: 'Inside the town on the top of the slope, there is a tall monolith with a bell-shaped capital. The shaft is circular, rising from a base 8 feet 3 inches high and 2 feet 9 inches square . . . and from their (of the letters of the inscription on the pillar) shapes I would assign the monument to somewhere about A.D. 600. Close by this pillar there is a small temple with Vishṇu sitting on Garuḍa over the door-way.'
