Round 180m north east of Polstein is a prehistoric circular earthwork located in Cornwall. The site consists of a roughly circular bank with an internal ditch, a characteristic form of Iron Age or possibly Late Bronze Age settlement in the South West. Such rounds functioned as enclosed homesteads or farmsteads, serving defensive and domestic purposes within their local communities. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and represents an important example of prehistoric settlement pattern in the Cornish landscape.
