| Details | A large rock situated outside the gate (vāhalkaḍa) to the west of the main shrine of Laṅkātilaka. It is engraved with four lines of writing, although the third and fourth lines are entirely illegible due to the weathered condition of the rock. The final line appears to end abruptly, suggesting that the engraving of the record was never completed. |
