The most prominent feature of the mound is the 6 well demarked burial areas in village Sekta which is located at a distance of about 18kms from the town. The state archaeology was able to isolate only one burial mound. The total area under protection is 0.35 acre. The excavation at the Sekta burial site revealed important informations of the burial customs of the Sekta people and their social and economic life. This has helped archaeologist and historians to reassess the historical process of the people of Manipur.
