Trewern Round is a walled iron age enclosure c. 500 yards ESE of Trewern Farm. The round measures c. 50 yards in diameter. Its boundary wall, up to 6 feet high, is well preserved with two entrances at the NW and SE. There are extended trackways from each entrance. When I visited (30.04.17) the interior of the enclosure was overgrown so it was not possible to discern any internal features.
Trewern Round is listed as Historic England 1004314 (go to Links).
In ‘Belerion’, Craig Weatherhill states that this Iron Age enclosure once contained hut circles, now long vanished.
