[1] Archaeological survey report [2] of 1903 describe it as: Ramateertham is one of the places made sacred by a traditional connection with Lord Sree Rama.

The temple and village at the base of a chain of hills of solid rock on which are some perennial springs of water, and various places each in a way associated with the name of Rama.

The Jains have also had a residence here, their remains consisting chiefly of natural caves with slab sculptures set in them, and some small ruined brick temples.

I, page 15) where mention is made of great heaps of broken bricks and cut stones on a hill which is difficult of access.

Since that time, excavations have been conducted and resulted in the unearthing of an extensive part of what has undoubtedly been a large and important Buddhist monastery.

The southernmost is known as the Bodhikonda, and on it are the spots connected with Rama, and Jaina remains consisting of natural caves, rock art, images and a ruined Jain brick temple towards south west of the hill.

[citation needed] The northern hill is the Durgakonda, so named from an image of that goddess which stands in a natural cave at its western base.

The base of a brick stupa at the western extremity 65 feet in diameter, and a tank beside it which was doubtless kept filled with water from the perennial spring on the hill top.

On the north and south lower sides of the mass of rock are two rows of brick cells each terminated by a small stupa or dagoba.

Two other large chaitya with walls still standing for a considerable height adjoin this on the east, and north of them on the outer face of the platform is a long row of cells and other buildings.

Excavations by the Archaeological Survey of India yielded some more Remnants along these Ramateertham hills comprising Buddhist relics and Jaina Figures.
