Overview

History & significance

Prehistoric regular aggregate field system with incorporated and adjacent stone hut circles and an adjacent enclosure 550m WSW of Trewalla Farm is a Bronze Age settlement complex located in Cornwall. The site comprises a field system of regular layout alongside clusters of stone hut circles, domestic structures characteristic of later prehistoric occupation, and an associated enclosure that would have served defensive or livestock management functions. The regular arrangement of the field divisions suggests a degree of social organisation and land management typical of Bronze Age agricultural communities in the south-west peninsula. The proximity and integration of domestic structures with the field system indicates sustained settlement and cultivation in this location during the prehistoric period.
