This burial site is located in the river bank of Dambulu oya and is known to be existing over 2700 years ago approximately around 600 B.C. The Architecture of this burial site is amazing, human ash is kept in clay pots and is buried inside chambers constructed and marked with erected granite slabs.
This also shows a culture that people who have lived in this period have practiced incineration of carcasses and have buried them. Few containers were have been recorded to be found in cylindrical shaped vessels and inside them have been found some smaller containers with some beads made of clay and some other minerals and some were even painted in gold.
I could see this place being nicely landscaped without disturbing the natural beauty with special considerations of accessibility in almost all the places while facilitating foreign travelers. For instance, check out the picture of the sign directing to the restrooms.
Overall this place is very nicely designed and is preserved for travelers who are curious about ancient history.
