Hunddreds of artefacts excavated by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI ) from Benisagar, a village 85 kilometres from Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district, suggest continuous habitation from the fifth century A.D. to 16-17 century A.D.

• Archaeologists are continuously researching and studying the sculptures, stone figures found from here. Many things that arouse curiosity have also been found here, whose secret may be unravelled in the coming years.
• The ASI has included Benisagar in the list of 100 most prominent archaeological monuments of the country. 
• The place was first visited by Colonel Tickell of the British Army in 1840, and in 1875 AD, an historian J.D. Beglar visited Benisagar and found some sculptures here. On the basis of these idols, he ascribed the date of the site to 7th century A.D. Historian KC Panigrahi also published a paper in 1956 about the archaeological remains.
