History & significance

Hut circle 500 yards south of Trelan Plantation is a Bronze Age or Iron Age domestic structure situated in Cornwall. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular earthwork with an inturned entrance, characteristic of prehistoric roundhouse construction in south-western Britain. Such hut circles represent the remains of individual dwellings or small domestic settlements from the later prehistoric period, and this example contributes to the archaeological understanding of settlement patterns and domestic architecture in the Cornish landscape. The site's preservation as an upstanding earthwork allows for the study of prehistoric building techniques and the organisation of rural settlement in this region.
