Battlefield today
Much of the battle site has been altered owing to paddy cultivation. Two obelisks stand in memory of two officers who served in the army of East India Company. They stand on a higher ground than the surroundings and the inscribed text is very light and faded. Colonel George Brown and Captain James Hislop are remembered in the obelisks.WEB,weblink The story of two obelisks, Muthiah, Ramanathan, 16 October 2009, madrasmusings.com, 5 March 2017, (File:Front_view_of_obelisks.jpg|thumb|Front view of obelisks)(File:Pullalur_obelisks_situated_amidst_paddy_fields_and_coconut_grove.jpg|thumb|Location of Pullalur obelisks situated amidst paddy fields and coconut grove)(File:Obelisk_on_Lieu_Col_Geroge_Brown.jpg|thumb|Lieu Col George Brown remembered in this obelisk, text is quite faded and very hard to read in certain places.)The obelisk dedicated to Lieutenant Colonel George Brown bears the following text:Sacred to the Memory of Lieutenant Colonel George BrownWhen Lieutenant of Grenadiers in Draper's Regimenthe lost his Right Arm on the storm of Conjevearam Pagoda occupied by Ye Frenchon the 18th of April ???? and fell in a general Action fought on this Field between the EnglishForces and the Troops of Hyder Ally???
