The defended settlement 800m north of Lymsworthy Farm is an Iron Age enclosed settlement located in Cornwall. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure formed by a substantial bank and ditch system, characteristic of Iron Age defensive architecture in the Southwest Peninsula. Such settlements typically date to the later Iron Age, between approximately 500 and 100 BC, and represent a significant phase of settlement intensification and social organisation in the region. The earthwork remains are substantially preserved and provide important evidence for Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in Cornwall.
