Poyilkotta, Kerala



This laterite fort was believed to be built by the Bednore Naikans in the 17th century A.D. The fort is in complete decay. The remains show that the original fort was eight feet in thickness and more than fifteen feet in height. Inside the fort there is a temple, and a big pond with steps. Considering the historical importance, the fort with an area of 8.44 acres of land is already declared as protected monument in 1985.
