Fort Hammenhiel ((シンハラ語:හැමන්හිල් බලකොටුව); (タミル語:அம்மன்னீல் கோட்டை)) is a fort built around a small island between the islands of Kayts and Karaitivu of Jaffna Peninsula in Northern Sri Lanka. The Portuguese built this fort in the mid 17th century of quarried coral and named it Fortaleza Real (Fort Royal). The Dutch renamed it as Hammenhiel (Heel of the Ham) and it was rebuilt by them in 1680.〔Silva, WK and RK. "Dutch Forts of Sri Lanka"〕 The prison has nine large dungeons to store gunpowder. ==Notable inmates== In 1971 Rohana Wijeweera, founder leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, was detained in the fort after his arrest. It was later used to house other prisoners of the abortive 1971 JVP insurrection. Those detained included Upatissa Gamanayake, Lionel Bopage, Podi Athula (Victor Ivan), Loku Athula (N. Jayasinghe), Prof. Jayadeva Uyangoda and Mahinda Wijesekara (who was to later to become a minister).
