xevi visited on 17th Jun 2020 - their rating: Amb: 4 Access: 4 The place has ruins of a temple complex dated 3 BC. A few hundred meters from it there is a rock shelter with earlier drawings, in very bad condition.
Prehistoric artifacts of the mesolitic prove an early inhabitancy of this site. In the 3rd century BCE this monastery was an important stopover for pilgrims to the Bhodi tree sanctuary in Anuradhapura. Today a lying Buddha a Bodhi treee and a 12m tall Stupa could be visited on large rocks. 400m away a rock with engravings could be found.
