Overview

History & significance

The two adjacent stone hut circles located 290 metres west of Trewalla Farm is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement site situated in Cornwall. The monuments consist of two roughly circular stone-built structures typical of prehistoric domestic dwellings found across the south-western peninsula, where such hut circles represent evidence of permanent settlement during the late prehistoric period. The proximity of the two circles suggests a small domestic unit, possibly representing a single household or family group occupying the site during the later prehistoric era. Such stone-built roundhouses are characteristic of settlement patterns in Cornwall and Devon, where this form of construction and settlement arrangement persisted in some areas into the Roman period and beyond.
