Three other sites—Kistapuram at the foot of the Mallagutta hill, the most conspicuous hill-feature on the bank of the Krishna, Lohamancheru and Viraboyinukunta, both located close to each other in the interior of the valley—yielded Megalithic \[4.17.7\] remains. These sites were excavated by P. Sreenivasachar though no reports are available. But most important was the temple site where excavations were carried out for several seasons by the Dept of Arch.
