The site is a centrally protected monument under the control of
Archaeological Survey of India since 1920. There is some unconfirmed
news that the authorities are not protecting these remnants well and
some apartment constructions have already started there at this heritage
site.
Getting There
The cemetery is very close to the ancient settlement at Tangasseri and
the lighthouse. Kollam Port is very close to this heritage site. The
city of Kollam is about 3 km away.
Considering Kollam as the entry city to the lake, nearest airport is the
Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, 71 km (44 mi) away and by
road to almost all important centres in Kerala and the rest of the
country. National Highway 47 (NH 47) passes through the lake periphery
not only from Quilon but also to other locations on its bank from
Thiruvananthapuram to the northern towns of Kerala.
Southern
Railways network of metre gauge and broad gauge lines connects with
Quilon and to all important centres in the rest of the country. The
metre gauge train journey from Quilon to Chennai via Madurai is stated
to offer a picturesque journey.
