Archaeological Survey of India in 1951 declared Ariyannur Umbrellas as a centrally protected monument. The site has six umbrella stones or mushroom stones, locally called Kudaikkallu. Of them, four are intact and two are partially broken.
An umbrella stone consists of a curvilinear laterite stone with a wide circular flat base resting on four clinostats. Locally known as Kudaikkallu (Umbrella Stone).
These are part of the larger Kudakkallu Parambu complex which is believed to be from 2000 BCE.
