Ross

I believe the answer is:

preserved

(Other definitions for preserved that I've seen before include "Prevented from decay" , "Kept safe from harm" , "Prevented from decaying or spoiling" , "Maintained in an unaltered condition" , "Kept in an unaltered condition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
