On the way to 'Reswehera', Sri Lanka.

An old dwelling under a rock. Note the 'Kattaerama' S, 'Kattu aaram' T meaning built garland. This was chipped on the ledge of the overhanging rock - so that water would not drip under the stone where the dwelling was. This is termed a 'drip ledge' and is one of the oldest innovations by humans seeking a dwelling under rocks.
