‘Kaḍaṅgas or war-trenches are described in the Rev. G. Ritcher’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 hilltops. Mr. Ritcher quotes old records to show that they were constructed by ancient Rājās to fortify the principality. In South Kanara also these trenches abound.’
