Ariyannur Umbrellas is a prehistoric Megalith burial site situated in Ariyannur in Kandanassery Panchayat of Thrissur District of Kerala.[1][2][3][4] Archaeological Survey of India in 1951 declared it as a centrally protected monument. The site has six umbrella stones or mushroom stones, locally called Kudaikkallu. Of them, four are intact and two are partially broken.[5][6][7][8][9] .
These are part of the larger Kudakkallu Parambu complex which is believed to be from ~2000 BCE.
