In the Megalithic phase overlapping with the Neolithic comprising Chalcolithic elements has been found the remnant of a stone enclosure wall of boulders, 1 m high, consisting of 5 courses, traced to a length of 4 m and breadth of 1·10 m, probably of a house. The pottery is essentially of three fabrics: all-black ware, Black-and-red Ware [11.15.3] and red ware. The chief types are the conoid of the first ware; the concave-sided carinated bowl, tulip-shaped bowl, and globular vase of the second; and the vase with externally beaded or thickened and grooved rim, some with oblique parallel incised strokes, of the third. A globular pot of the Black-and-red Ware has white painting on the shoulder all round consisting of sets of parallel oblique lines arranged in an inverted V way. There are no iron objects. The cattle and sheep continue to be in use.
