Megaliths

Megalith is a very large usually rough stone used in pre historic cultures as  a monument or building block. This megalith located at Mallayya palli village, near Chandragiri mandal, Chitoor dist, A.P. This is considered to be the prime megalith in Chandragiri mandal. Beneath the capstone there are some drawings probably drawn by the pre historic man in different periods. This structure is located at the top of the hill. This may have been used as temple or shelter by the prehistoric man. 

Unfortunately this structure is not protected either by the Archaeology department or any other organization.
