A round on Tregearedown Beacon is a prehistoric circular earthwork located in Cornwall. The monument consists of a circular bank and ditch forming an enclosed space, characteristic of Cornish rounds which date primarily to the Iron Age, though some may have earlier origins or continued use into the Romano-British period. Such rounds typically served as defended settlements or ritual enclosures, though their precise function remains subject to scholarly debate. The site's position on elevated ground at Tregearedown Beacon reflects the strategic importance of hilltop locations in prehistoric settlement patterns across the Cornish landscape.
