Prehistoric burial sites, commonly known as Kodakuthy Kallu (Kudakallu) [literally meaning "stones shaped like umbrellas"], were discovered here.[2][3] These burial sites had stones placed like umbrellas over them. These stones have been over a period of time been plundered for construction and the remaining stones shifted to museums.
These umbrella rocks of Chiramanangad are reported to have a history of over four thousand years; here people were buried in earthen urns and umbrella rocks were placed on top as landmarks.
This largely rural area is gradually being converted to a small urban centre. Agricultural activity is disappearing with agricultural land being converted to housing plots. The village centre has a temple known as Kunnambathu Kavu.
Every year Pooram is held at the village temple grounds on the 10th day of the Malayalam month Medam, approximately mid-April in the Gregorian calendar.
