Except a single stone circle all belong to the cist-circle type. The orthostats are seen arranged on the \*svastika\* pattern. The cists in several cases appear to be double-chambered, divided by upright slabs, and can be classed as transcepted cists with antechamber. Whether there is a bench needs confirmation. The orthostats project out above the surface and the capstones are missing in all the cases. Often in s. orthostats a port-hole and an antechamber in front are also present. The diameters of the circles vary between 10·1 to 5·3 m. Unlike BRAHMAGIRI but like MASKI the major axis of all the cists is in n.-s. orientation. - [Previous: v2.c45.379](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.379) - [Next: v2.c45.381](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.381) - [Up: v2.c45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45) ## Cites (1) - [Maski](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.maski) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.380](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.380) · Pramāṇa
