At a later phase the circular wall was converted into an apsidal structure, the first of its kind in Orissa, by the addition of two oblong walls running roughly parallel to the original apsidal structure. This remodelled structure has openings on three sides. After some time was built towards the base of the original structure an enigmatic semicircular wall of courses of laterite on edge, apparently closing the entrance of the main hall. The last phase of the occupation on the site is marked by a square platform with recessed corners shabbily built of laterite and sandstone blocks over the s.-e. part of the circular wall.
