Round 205m south of Goongillings is a Cornish round, a prehistoric fortified settlement dating to the Iron Age. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, a characteristic defensive configuration found across Cornwall during the later prehistoric period. Such rounds served as enclosed settlements and are thought to have functioned as centres of local authority and protection for small communities and their livestock. The site's preservation and archaeological record contribute to understanding Iron Age settlement patterns and social organisation in the Cornish peninsula.
