Trelowth Common Round
Trelowth Common Round submitted by Bladup : Lidar image of Trelowth Common Round with another smaller earthwork to the east Source: www.lidarfinder.com (Vote or comment on this photo)
At Trelowth Common Round are the remains of a round 100m diameter, with a bank just visible on an undulation 3.0m high. An entrance at the east is just visible. No ditch is visible, but must have existed.

Thomas mentioned a small entrenchment concentric to the inner and about 30m away; this is barely visible today and is detectable by the fact that hedgerows follow the line suggested by Thomas. The inner banks are scheduled, and the site has been described by Beagrie. Although it was ploughed, no occupation debris was visible at the time of the OS visit and the site is now largely under grassland. The Schedule was revised in March 1992 to include the whole of the monument, including the outer bank, and the eastern end of the hollow way leading into the site from the west. The site is visible on aerial photographs and was plotted as part of the NMP.
