Iron Age or Romano-British Round, 660m west of Helford is a defended settlement of Iron Age or Romano-British date, located in Cornwall. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of the defended domestic settlements known as rounds which are a distinctive feature of the Cornish landscape. Such settlements typically served as farmsteads or minor fortified residences for local populations during the later prehistoric and Romano-British periods. The site's precise dating remains uncertain, though its morphology and defensive characteristics are consistent with Iron Age construction, with possible continued occupation into the Romano-British period.
