The ancient burial site of Ibbankatuwa, Dambulla, Sri Lanka.




'Ibbankatuwa  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.'
