Twin mounds locally known as Ekkal-Dhokal are now badly disturbed.  The mounds yielded coarse red ware having black painted designs, belonging to the Rang Mahal culture. A spouted handi with broken base having red slip and devoid of painting and a lota in dull red ware are other finds. Antiquities include a terracotta sealing, shell bangles and terracotta sling balls.
