Round 390m north east of Carwarthen is a prehistoric circular earthwork located in Cornwall. The monument consists of a substantial circular bank and ditch formation typical of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement patterns in south-west England. Such rounds served as defended domestic or pastoral enclosures, with the earthwork providing both practical stock control and symbolic territorial demarcation. The site represents an important element of the dispersed settlement landscape characteristic of prehistoric Cornwall, where such enclosed homesteads formed the basic unit of community organization across the Bronze and Iron Ages.
