The site of Birbhanpur is near the Durgapur railway station on the bank of the Damodar river in Burdwan District, West Bengal.³⁷ It was discovered³⁸ by Shri LAL and excavated on a very small scale during 1954 and 1957. "The site is fairly extensive, beginning from about a furlong north of Birbhanpur, it continues beyond the railway line on the north. On the east it is roughly bounded by the road between the Durgapur railway-station and Birbhanpur and it continues well into the jungle of Sal tree (Shorea robusta) on the west."³⁷ᵃ
