Hillfort 250m south west of Tresawsen is an Iron Age defensive earthwork located in Cornwall. The site comprises a bivallate hillfort, defined by two concentric banks and ditches that would have served to protect settlement and resources during the Iron Age period. The earthworks remain substantially visible in the modern landscape, preserving evidence of prehistoric fortification practices characteristic of south-western Britain during the later pre-Roman Iron Age. Such hillforts typically functioned as focal points for regional communities, serving defensive, administrative, and possibly ceremonial purposes.
