The Post Graduate Institute of Archaeology (PGIAR), University of Kelaniya, is currently engaged in an archaeological excavation of a place assumed to be a proto historic burial site. This site is the newest addition to the fifty odd archaeological sites representing the early Iron Age of Sri Lanka. According to the surface evidence of the site it is assumed to be a clay canoe burial. The archaeological findings from Ranchamadama in Hambantota District and Kalaotuwawa in Gampaha District have revealed similar types of burials.
