Old brickbats are often found on the site and its surrounding area. The area of the old site approximately measures 400m x 300m and is about 3m high from the surrounding cultivated lands. Almost the entire areas, is covered by thatched huts and tin sheds of the local people except a small portion on the north and south sides which have been brought under the plough and leveled for that purpose.

The western part of the village is known as ‘Sepoy para’ and that of the east is known as ‘Shuja Para’.
