Safety notes
- Much of the heritage here is a walking route through a lived-in neighbourhood, not a fenced site. Dress modestly, keep noise down, and ask before photographing people or houses.
- Burial mounds and excavation ground are fragile and, in places, unfenced. Stay on the paths; do not climb or remove anything.
