Log Text: Plenty of litter around, which I cleared.
Plenty of trees growing from the ramparts.
No information board (two local dog-walkers had no idea what it was), although one would probably be destroyed.

Log Text: A magnificent site, with an excellent guest house on site. I was able to tour it in the afternoon, go for a gentle jog as the sun rose next morning, then have another wander around after breakfast. Magnificent!
It's a huge site, the main site of the Indus Valley Civilisation, from about 2600BC to 1500BC. It hasn't been fully excavated - maybe it never will be - but what has been fully excavated has plenty if information boards and good pathways.
The city was abandoned in about 1500BC and then 'lost', as the Indus changed its course and most of the city became covered in sand and silt.
Rediscovered in 1922, with some excavation taking place then, with another significant amount of excavation taking place in the 1950's by Professor Dani and Sir Mortimer Wheeler.
The huge Stupa is the tallest item, with the Great Bath - thought to have been used for spiritual purposes - and its main drainage channel, the street pattern, the royal quarters, all very easy to see.
