The site, 8 km s.-e. of Kalyandrug on the Kalyandrug-Dharmavaram road, consists of four ash-mounds \[14.3\] and a Neolithic \[4.6.8\] habitation. One of the ash-mounds yielded a sequence of three Pds, of which the lowest one was found to be pre-Neolithic marked by the occurrence of patinated trap flakes and microliths. Pd II, Neolithic, was represented by floors with post-holes. An interesting find was an edge-ground bone axe. Other objects included Neolithic stone implements, painted pottery and blotchy grey pottery, all handmade, besides a large number of unbaked clay objects, a large number of fragmentary animal bones some of which were charred. Pd III was post-Neolithic and showed the use of iron. In the habitation area four single urn burials covered with bowls were exposed. The ¹⁴C date for the earliest level is 1965 ± 105 B.C.
