Granaries
There are several structures at the top of the hill from various periods of occupation. Prominent among these are two large granaries with vaulted roofs, the Venugopalaswamy shrine, and a ruined pyramidal tower. This three-storeyed building was a watchtower or a flagstaff tower. It has rows of false arches with small openings on the second storey. Similar arches on the lower floor are open and lead to rooms inside.
