Romano-British defended settlement 340m ESE of Grambla is a fortified settlement of Romano-British date located in Cornwall. The site represents the defensive occupation strategies employed by Romano-British communities during the later Roman period in the South West. The settlement's defensive character, indicated by its fortification, distinguishes it from undefended contemporary settlements and suggests either military organisation or concerns about local security during this period. Such defended sites provide evidence for settlement patterns and the maintenance of fortified positions in Romano-British Cornwall during the post-conquest period.
