A round is a circular enclosure of prehistoric date located 650 metres north-east of Trelaske in Cornwall. The monument comprises an earthwork consisting of a circular bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age settlement or defensive structures found throughout south-west England. Such rounds were typically occupied during the Iron Age period and served as domestic or fortified settlements, though some evidence suggests continued use into the Romano-British period. The site represents an important example of the local settlement pattern and land use during the later prehistoric period in Cornwall.
