ASI monument Kudakkallu Parambu aka Kodakuthy Kallu (Kudakallu or just Kudakkal), literally means "stones shaped like umbrellas". The Kudakkallu Parambu is a a prehistoric Megalith burial site situated in Chermanangad of Thrissur District of Kerala.

The Kudakkal are laterite monuments. Their mushroom-like stone architecture differentiates them from Topikkal which are hemispherical "hat stones" that form the lid of a burial urn. Similarly, they differ from Pathikal which are many laterite blocks stacked/placed over a burial site in a shape of a hood.

The Chermanangad site is notable as it has all three styles – Kudakkal, Topikkal and Pathikal monuments.
