Round 310m east of Carloggas Moor Farm is a Cornish round, a prehistoric fortified settlement dating to the Iron Age. The monument consists of a roughly circular enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, a characteristic defensive feature of Iron Age settlement patterns in south-west England. Rounds served as enclosed homesteads or small fortified communities and are particularly abundant in Cornwall, where they represent a significant aspect of the region's late prehistoric archaeology. This example, located on moorland east of the farm, remains an important evidence of Iron Age settlement organisation and land use in the Cornish landscape.
