A well preserved naviform, why did they build the walls so thick? Even if for defensive purposes they are out of proportion to what would most likely have been a fairly week roof structure

This ancient village has been extensively excavated over recent years, however, is still struggling to stop nature taking back over. Although close to main road shows little if any sign of visitors despite numerous information boards

This site is on the road out of Porto Colom towards S’Horta – the road narrows as it leaves the urban area and the roadside stones – a naviform – are clearly visible on the right hand side.
Almost all the site is in the process of being excavated, but at a very slow rate (20 days a year apparently) and almost all was covered with black tarp and spikes, and we could only make out only one naviform in the uncovered area beyond the road and that was becoming overgrown.
Listed as naviform as this is what’s visible but thought to be a settlement of more than 10 buildings.
