This has been a ‘Vatadage’ ( a dagaba covered under a circular building ) constructed by King Vattagamini Abaya (Valagmaba) ( 89 – 77 BCE). King Valagamab called it ‘Seelapobbhandaka’. The building and the roof over the Dagaba cannot be seen now. They have got destroyed over time. However three of the pillars which supported the building at that time could be seen even now. This is a small dagaba with a diameter of 45 ft built on the ‘Maluwa’ of a diameter of 132 ft.
