There are fears the site is too exposed to sun and wind
Archaeologists in Mexico have uncovered the ruins of a large palace they believe dates back to the height of the Mayan civilisation, 1,000 years ago.
Remains of a building six metres (20ft) high, 55m long and 15m wide were found at a dig on the site of the ancient city of Kulubá in Yucatán state.
It is thought the structure was used over two periods of Mayan history as far back as 600 AD.
The Mayan civilisation flourished before Spain conquered the region.
