| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
Excavation at Pochampad revealed five megalithic burials were exposed. One of the burials consisted of a single circle of closely-planted, untrimmed granite boulders, measuring 10.06 m in diameter, with a very heavy scatter of rubble in and around the boulders and extending to the centre. A 1.5 m deep pit seems to have been cut partly into the natural soil. In the south western quadrant, just beneath the ancient ground level, a skeleton of a horse, probably interred as a final offering before the end of the ritual, was exposed. It is also probable that the horse was buried along with the master as in the Scythian burials in Central Asia. The grave-pit was found to be roughly oblong on plan, oriented east-west and measured 2.16 m in length and 1.68 m in breadth. The bottom of the pit was levelled up by a 15 cm thick deposit of earth. |
