Historic secrets unearthed by archaeologists before the sea claims them

Archaeologists are working hard to unearth secrets from the Middle Ages before a historic site is lost to the sea forever. Teams are working hard after the discovery of a Romano British 'roundhouse' in north Wales.

Excavations are taking place on the cliffs above Dinas Dinlle near Caernarfon, with the hope of collating valuable information from the historic site. Given the precarious location, it is believed that in as little as 50 years the roundhouse could be lost to erosion.

The Daily Post reported that the wider entire fort hill site could disappear within 500 years due to the relentless tides, storms, and effects of climate change speeding up the erosion process. Experts say the site offers a rare glance into the past, with the dig only being given the green light because of the gradual loss to the sea.
