Burial site and neolithic tools discovered in agricultural field at Koorgallu village
A megalithic burial site and neolithic tools have been discovered in an agricultural field at Koorgallu village in Bettadapura hobli of Periyapatna taluk in Mysuru.
The site came to light almost two weeks ago when a local farmer was preparing the land using heavy earthmoving equipment and the tools and stones used for burial practices were cleared from the site and dumped aside.

He visited the spot recently and on studying the site concluded that the entire area was once a megalithic burial site and was proof of human settlement in the place.
