The hill containing an ancient buddhist settlement.The name literally means 'Hill with Stone wells'..meant to trap n store rain water for drinking purpose for the buddist monks.It was discovered during a routine aerial survey over the region in 1993, supposed to be dating back to some 2000 Yrs.Intrestingly there is one stone well which never dries up proving the point that its not just the rain water which fill its up..but may as well have an underground source to it(well..on top of a Rocky hill).
