An iron is megalithic burial site dotted with carine -circles has been discovered near Nemakallu (v) at the foot of a chain of hills in( Ap) Ananthapur( Distic) Rayadurgam ( thaluk) Bommanahal(m) Nemakallu (v). This village number of hills is there as follows : ( 1) Hire gudda (2) Otte gudda (3)Bolu gudda (4) Nagarakolla gudda (5)Karekalla gudda (6)Devarakolla gudda. Megalithic means" large stone "and in general, the word is used to refer to any huge, human-built assembled structure or collection of stones are builders. Typically, thorough, megalithic monement reference to monemental architecture built megalithic culture. There are so many types megalithic burials schattered all over the world such as stone cirles, Dolmens, Menhirs, Anthropomorphics, Hood stones, Cistburials, Pit burials, Topicallu etc. This stone circles type of the megalithic burials and said to be known as iron is culture paleo-lithic period, messolithic period , Neo-Lithic period, Chalcho-lithic period and then comes in the human culture evolution. This is sprawling site spred over about there 3km in Bommanahal( v ) can be deted to 1, 000 BCE 300CE. What is the interestig about the discovery as that many of the Carine -circle have Dolmenaid cist on the surface with in the circles crain-circles rough stone arranged in a circle made of a granite slabs. The craine -circles indicate burial chambers, below with urns containing bones and potteres with paddu, beads, knives, sword and other artifacts . Poems in the thamil sangam literature (300BC to300CE ) celebrate these secrets of the social life of the that age. But residents of nearby villages have all read destroyed a large number of the these carines -circles, near Devarakolla certed away the stones and granite -slabs for building cowsheds and compound walls, and for laying floors a qurry is working nearby in the hills.
