Tregeare Rounds is a small multivallate hillfort located in Cornwall, England, dating to the Iron Age. The site is defined by multiple defensive earthwork banks and ditches arranged concentrically, a characteristic feature of later prehistoric fortified settlements in the southwest of Britain. The monument represents the typical defensive strategy of Iron Age communities in Cornwall, where such hillforts served as settlements, refuges, or centres of control during the first millennium before the Roman conquest. The earthworks remain substantially visible as landscape features, preserving evidence of prehistoric territorial organisation and settlement patterns in the Cornish landscape.
