Prang is located on top of part of a large archaeological mound known as Majuki Dherai.{{rp|7}}{{rp|193}} A river evidently cut through the mound at one point, leaving behind sand deposits.{{rp|7}} The northern part of the mound is mostly intact because it's covered up by the Charsadda cemetery, but the southern part has been affected by people removing some of its soil to serve as manure for farmland.{{rp|7}}
