Overview

History & significance

Tregune Farm is a complex archaeological site in Cornwall containing evidence of settlement and land use spanning from prehistoric to medieval periods. The site incorporates prehistoric coaxial and regular field systems that represent early agricultural organization of the landscape, alongside Bronze Age or Iron Age hut circles indicating domestic occupation during these periods. A deserted medieval settlement with a long house and associated droveway demonstrates continuity of settlement and pastoral activity on the site through the Middle Ages, reflecting the longstanding economic importance of this location. The survival of these multiple phases of occupation and their physical remains makes Tregune Farm significant for understanding the evolution of settlement patterns and agricultural practices across several thousand years of Cornish prehistory and history.
