Eeyal Caves in Thrissur district is a fascinating historical site. These megalithic caves are well-preserved under the Archaeological Department of India and serve as a burial site for megalithic individuals. The site consists of two underground caves dug into the earth with one chamber having two stone beds and the other with three. Unfortunately, the cave's roof has collapsed over time but it remains a significant landmark in India's megalithic history. Notably, the 'Eyyal treasure,' which included Roman gold coins was discovered here and is now exhibited in various museums across the country. This area is rich in such caves with others like Chowanoor and Kudakkallu Parambu within 3 kilometers(entrance is free for all). Keep in mind that it's a small site nestled within a residential area so don't expect extensive facilities. For history enthusiasts and students Eeyal Caves is a must-visit, offering a glimpse into the past. However, please be aware that the roads leading to the site are narrow and parking can be challenging for vehicles other than bikes.
Three celled megalithic burial. Carved out of laterite rock. Cells have a small bed for laying out the remains.
A historical place. Good ambience. Well protected by archeological dept.
Eyyal Rock cave is the ancient burial site. The stone age historical place. Its build between BC 200-300
A place of historic signifivance. Small and humble. But not worth a planned trip.
It is not important for a tourist, but it is an important place for a history student. It is a rock cut cave or 'Vettukal Guha' built in the megalithic age. It has two compartments. There is a corridor to the large room. There are stone beds on the sides of the main room. There is a stone pillar in the middle of the main room. The roof of the main chamber is partially dilapidated. The small room also has stone beds. Many Roman coins of 1st century AD were discovered from here.
Very nice historical place. .....
It's just a casual place, nothing impressive as such
