These ruins are found to the left of the road few kilometres prior to reaching Kok Mottai Camp Site.

I was not able to find any reference to these ruins during my literature survey even by R. L Brohier, Assistant Superintendent of Surveys, who led a topographic team in survey of the coast between Puttalam and Mannar in 1923. These ruins are believed to be the remains of another adobe of the Yaksha princess Kuveni. The granite pillars at this site however, are much smoother than those found at the site referred to as Kuveni Palace near Kali Villu.

The author visits Wilpattu National Park regularly and will update this website with his field notes and photographs of individual leopards as well as other species of fauna & flora observed in the park. His primary goal in launching this website is to create awareness among the general public of the fascinating bio diversity of the park and to highlight the importance of protecting it for generations to come. The author’s study of the leopards will be of importance for anyone who may be keen to identify the leopards they photograph in Wilpattu and learn more about them.
