Bake Rings is a later prehistoric and Romano-British settlement site located in Cornwall, England, comprising a round with an attached enclosure and outwork. The monument represents a form of defended domestic settlement characteristic of the Iron Age and early Roman periods in south-western Britain, reflecting the regional settlement patterns and social organisation of these periods. The site's multi-phase structure, encompassing the primary circular enclosure and associated features, indicates prolonged occupation and modification across successive generations. The archaeological evidence from such monuments has contributed significantly to understanding the transition from late Iron Age to Romano-British settlement practices in Cornwall.
