Iron Age or Romano-British Round, 660m west of Helford is a defended circular settlement located in Cornwall. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork consisting of a central raised platform surrounded by one or more defensive banks and ditches, characteristic of the round form prevalent in Iron Age and Romano-British Cornwall. The site's defensive architecture suggests occupation during a period when such enclosed settlements served as residence, refuge, and focal point for local communities. The uncertainty regarding its precise dating reflects the challenges of chronologically distinguishing Iron Age and Romano-British settlement types in the region without intrusive archaeological investigation.
