The Independent - London, May 3rd, 1994
ARCHAEOLOGISTS and politicians in north Wales have joined forces to save Britain's best-preserved prehistoric town.
Using a team of stonemasons, they plan to restore key sections of a spectacular 2,000- year-old site located on a remote mountaintop. The ruined town, complete with 1,000 metres of massive ramparts and scores of partially preserved Iron Age houses, has been quite literally tumbling down under the pressure of tourism.
Known as Tre'r Ceiri - literally "Town of the Fortresses" - the site last year attracted an estimated 10,000 visitors, double the figure of five years ago.
