Five inscriptions in the Sinhalese script of about the sixth century are incised on a rock at the site of an ancient monastery at Galkäṭiyāgama, four miles south-west of Polpiṭigama, in the Hiriyāla Hatpattu, Kuruṇǟgala District. Each inscription refers to a named individual and states that he settled his debts and freed himself slavery. The inscriptions have been engraved close to each other, three of them on the left side of the inscribed area and two on the right.
