Excavations at the sight have yielded iron blades (most probably used for harvesting grain), pottery with simple decorations, cattle dung and post-0holes for fencing. During colonial times, the site was called Bigo Bya Mugyenyi. Additional information The district receives low rainfall and has long dry spells. This greatly affects agriculture, but cattle keeping is not seriously affected. Some cattle are reared on ranches.
