The site contains thirty-five numbers of beautifully carved monolithic pillars. They are of two types, one is chessman type having circular shaft with hemispherical head carved with animal motifs and floral designs. The other one is sword type. These are made of huge stone slabs pointed at the top and flattened at bottom and gradually tapers in a soft curvature. Like a sword, two pairs of circular projections are provided at the lower end. The front surface of the group is carved with scroll and geometric designs. The monolithic groups are stylistically assigned to circa 14th century CE.
