Round and annexe 720m WSW of Tregear is a prehistoric settlement comprising a circular defended enclosure with an attached annex. Located in Cornwall, the monument is characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement patterns in the South West, periods during which such roundels served as domestic and defensive structures for communities engaged in mixed farming. The site's physical form, with its distinct circular rampart and adjacent rectangular or polygonal annexe, reflects a settlement type that was common across the Cornish peninsula during later prehistory. The earthwork remains preserve important evidence of settlement morphology and land use during the late prehistoric period in south-west England.
