is also somewhere you will find it interesting to visit during your visit
to Dambulla. This site is situated close to the Dambulla town on Dambulla –
Kurunegala main road.
Archaeologically
the ground dates back to around 750 BC to 400 BC. Here,several tombs can be seen
covered with stone slabs and another interesting fact is those tombs had
contained personal items such as clay pots, necklaces etc. Some items had
contained Gem Stones which are seen in India giving some hints about the links
with the India. Archeologists present several arguments on this site as the
people lived in this area has had trade with a foreign country as beads, glass
and terra-cotta were discovered.'
