On
the way to Krishnagiri after completing our Kolar Heritage visit, it was told
that prehistoric period stone age menhirs erected in memory of dead are
available at Chinnamattarapalli. There are two menhirs, of one is under worship. Usually these menhirs will be erected near the Dolmens, Cairn circles with cist. Nothing is found now, except the Menhirs, The
menhirs available are about 5 to 6 feet tall.
It
was told that a palaeolithic tools factory functioned here in the hills of Chinnamattarapalli,
where prehistoric palaeolithic period human settlement was exists. The stones used
for making the tools are not belonged to this hill and are brought from river beds or near by rock hills. During our
visit, had seen, some semi finished axes / tools and stones used for making the tools.
