Trewern Round
Trewern Round submitted by JimChampion : An oval Iron Age enclosure, about 50 metres in diameter. The stone wall still survives under the hedge, and the whole thing is quite obvious from some distance away. Apologies for the quality of this picture, it was taken from some distance at full zoom, and it was very windy (no tripod!). (Vote or comment on this photo)

Trewern Round
Trewern Round submitted by folk_pile : I was out volunteering a few weeks ago and noticed this strange circular field. I immediately thought there must be a stone circle within it, however looking further into it I could not find any information about the field or see any stones within it. It seems odd that the field boundaries where clearly built to avoid this circular area, but why? You can see the google map image uploaded... (1 comment)
