Kossinna is a small town between Kadawatha and Ganemulla in Gampaha District. An Ambalama is a place constructed for pilgrims, traders and travellers to rest or spend the night in ancient Sri Lanka. They were built by kings, regional rulers and nobles as a service to the common man.

Kossinna Ambalama is a brick-and-mortar structure with six brick pillars holding the roof. The pillars are plain and carry no artwork. A half-height wall is built around the building with an opening for the entrance at the front.  The roof is tiled with semi-cylindrical Sinhala Ulu clay tiles.

This Ambalama lies 500 meters from the Kossinna Rajamaha Viharaya, close to the Sri Silananda Mawatha in the middle of a paddy.
