Overview

History & significance

Round 160m south of White Bridge is a Cornish round, a prehistoric enclosed settlement of Iron Age date located in Cornwall, England. The monument consists of a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of the defended domestic settlements that were widespread across Cornwall during the later prehistoric period. Such rounds typically enclosed an area for habitation and stock management, with the earthwork defences providing protection and demarcation of the settlement boundary. The survival of its structural earthworks contributes to the archaeological understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns and land use in the Cornish peninsula.
