* This tank, situated 20 miles to the north west of the temple of Dumbulla, on the road to Anuradhapura, and which has
hitherto attracted little notice, exhibits perhaps the remains of one of the greatest of the ancient great works of irrigation, in
Ceylon. The circumference of the area of the tank, when the embankment was perfect, could not have been less than 40
miles. The embankment, with the lateral mound of the Balalu wewa is at least 10 or 12 miles long. The stone spell-water
in the broken bank of Kala wewa is, perhaps, one of the most stupendous monuments, in the island, of misapplied human
labor. The canal by which the waters of this tank were conducted to Anuradhapura, may still be partially traced; and in
its vicinity the remains of the ancient fortress of Wijita are to be found.
