One of two tiny plumbago (graphite) mines (compare: Ereporuwa, Wijiriya), which lie about 6 km north of Kolonne (N06°24': E080°41'), is reached by proceeding from a junction at Tennehenna (Eckrich 1984 personal communication) or Tennahenna (note 1) to a small temple and then by walking about 400 m uphill. CAVE LIFE: Eckrich, Michael (1984 personal communication) had surveyed bats here (Chiroptera).One of two tiny plumbago (graphite) mines (compare: Ereporuwa, Wijiriya), which lie about 6 km north of Kolonne (N06°24': E080°41'), is reached by proceeding from a junction at Tennehenna (Eckrich 1984 personal communication) or Tennahenna (note 1) to a small temple and then by walking about 400 m uphill.
