It is surprising that Hunter completely ignored the stone circles and equally surprising is the fact that Rivett-Carnac who had reported 'the barrows' of adjacent JUNAPANI as early as 1879 did not take notice of the stone circles at Mahurjhari. Rivett-Carnac published a variety of iron objects at JUNAPANI comprising tools and weapons as also horse bits [16.1], brooches and buckles—essentially a Megalithic kit. In 1961-2 the ASI excavated a few stone circles at JANAPANI without reference to Mahurjhari (*IAR 1961-2*, p. 32).
