The monument 260m west of Coosewartha Farm is a later prehistoric to Roman settlement comprising round enclosures associated with a medieval field system. The site exhibits the characteristic settlement pattern of the Southwest peninsula during the Iron Age and Roman periods, when round houses within embanked enclosures formed the basis of agricultural communities. The later imposition of a medieval field system across the landscape reflects the continuity and adaptation of land use in this area through successive periods of occupation. The combination of prehistoric domestic structures with evidence of medieval agricultural reorganisation provides important archaeological evidence for long-term settlement patterns in Cornwall.
