An ancient cave that had been covered with the thick jungle in Serudandapola in the Naula division has drawn the attention of the relevant authorities.
Naula Range Forest Conservator M.J.U. Jayakody, President of the “Dumbara Mituro” environmental organization Nimal Ananda Kanaherarchchi and OIC Naula police IP Sugath Bandara Wijesundara visited the site on information provided by the residents of the area. On inspection they found the fragments of pots other cooking utensils that could date back to a time many centuries ago.
Officials were of opinion that a formal research would lay bare the historical facts about human habitats that existed in the area centuries ago.
Environmentalist Nimal Ananda said perhaps the cave would have provided shelter to the national heroes who were at the head of the battle in Lenadora area against the British invaders.
Range Forest Conservator said the finds including fragments of pots and cooking utensils would be protected at his office until they were handed over to the Department of Archaeology for research.
