Ariyannur Umbrellas

Ariyannur Umbrellas is a prehistoric Megalith burial site situated in Ariyannur in Kandanassery Panchayat of Thrissur District of Kerala. Archaeological Survey of India in 1951 declared it as a centrally protected monument. The site has six umbrella stones or mushroom stones, locally called Kudaikkallu. Of them, four are intact and two are partially broken.[1][2][3][4][5] .
These are part of the larger Kudakkallu Parambu complex which is believed to be from ~2000 BCE.
