Dambulla (Ibbankatuwa Pre-historic Site- Talakiriyagama, Dambulla)

At Talakiriyagama is a pre-historic “Cist” burial site, covering an area of more than 10 acres in extent, datable to 4000 – 5000 years. Dead bodies had been cremated at a central crematorium; all bones leftover were collected and buried at this site using 4 stone slabs for the 4 sides and a large single stone used as a cover. More than 10 such graves are opened at the Ibbankatuwa site. This is close to the Dambulla – Kurunegala road.
