Restoration work has begun to restore a historic hill which dates back to the Bronze Age
Work on restoring the Bronze Age hill fort at Mam Tor in the Peak District is expected to be completed by spring 2023Mam Tor near Castleton - a scheduled monument in the Peak District - will undergo a programme of restoration work as agreed with Historic England.
The National Trust, which is behind the project, said the work was "nationally important" to preserve the site for future generations.As part of the first stage of works, fences have been erected in some areas to protect the ground from walkers in the colder months.Rangers and volunteers will work to rebuild and reprofile the ground, as well as reseed areas where bare soil has been exposed.
Chris Lockyer, area ranger for the National Trust in the Kinder and Edale area of the High Peak, said: "It is important we protect this nationally important archaeological site for future generations so they can learn more about the history of the site and how people have used it in the past. "The visitors who come to enjoy these views will play a key role in our restoration works. They can help by staying on paths and following guidance on signs as work continues."
