“ Kaḍaṅgas or war-trenches are described in the Rev. G. Richter's Manual of Coorg (pp. 190–191); these are enormous trenches defended by a bank of the excavated soil, and ‘stretch over hills, woods, and comparatively flat countries, for miles and miles, at some place branching off in various directions, or encircling hill-tops.’ Mr. Richter quotes old records to show that they were constructed by ancient Rājās to fortify the principality. In South Kanara also these trenches abound. ”
