legends related to the area. The site is considered a sacred / forbidden ground
for general affairs in local lore. One popular belief is that Ussangoda is a
ground of the local demi-god "Mangara". Other beliefs range from
religiously rooted backgrounds to the unwritten/alternate history related to
Ravana. According to Hindu puranas, Ussangoda was one of the landing strips of
Ravana's Pushpaka viman There are many folk stories related to this site which
include different takes about the land. General belief is that it is a part of
a meteor or a proximity to a meteor hit. The main rationale for this belief is
the soils brick-like hard quality with a reddish colour which is unique to this
patch of land. Some rocks and soil layers contain what some speculate to be
remnants of an extreme heat (that can be caused by an event such as a meteor
hit). It is also suspected that the soil has a high concentration of minerals/metals
giving its unique colour. In several places, especially by the sea facing areas
rocks and soil can be observed clearly having multiple layers usually with
distinct colorization. It is however unclear whether these speculations have
been tested in any proper scientific study at all. It can be also noticed that
Ussangoda is located geographically closer to another archaeological site
"Miniha Gal Kanda", where evidence for pre-historic human existence
has been found.
