Huge plastic sheetscover everything in sight, giving us just sneak peeks into what was once a mighty fort. It isn�t a very impressive sight, and, for the first time, I question my choice to visit a site where archaeological excavations are still going on. But wait. If the excavations are still on, where are the digs? Why is everything covered? The only people in sight are laying new paving stones along the path leading from the road. Are we in the right place after all? We had found ourselves at the site of the ancient Kottapuram (Cranganore / Kodungallur) Fort after much searching and asking for directions, and the smirk on our driver�s face as we wandered around seems to say �I told you so. There isn�t anything to see here.�
