Kotugodella fort
Kotugodella Fort, also known as Katugodalla Fort or Katugodælla Balakotuwa, was a Portuguese fort, located near Haldummulla. In 1630 the Portuguese, under the command of Constantino de Sá de Noronha attempted to use the ldalgashinna pass to force a way into the Uva. The fort was used as a staging post for troops in the attack.
The fort is south of the Idalgashinna railway station, within the Needwood tea plantation. All that remains of the fort are the stone foundations of the semi-circular bastions.
The fort was declared a protected archaeological site in November 2002.
