Dating from the Neolithic period, it is thought that it is one of the sites defining the origin of the Bronze Age. The site was discovered in 1966 and has recently been developed, with a new museum building containing artefacts discovered in the area. The original excavation is a few hundred metres away in the grounds of the Wat.
