Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An about 5 m wide and 2.4 m high cave entrance with unspecified shape faces an unspecified direction and leads to an estimated 7 to 8 m long cave in gneiss which yielded, when archaeologically excavated in 1953 to a depth of 2.1 m, stone tools and faunal remains (Brooks 1995 Mss, no. 30 after DERANIYAGALA, S U 1980: 177). SITUATION: At an unidentified location and in an unspecified spatial relation near Gavatgiriya (Brooks 1995 Mss, no. 30), which appears to be the village known as Gawaragiriya (N06°38'32”: E080°16').
