BACKGROUND INFORMATION:  Lower Helland Down camp is a near circular univallate camp approximately 90m by 80m first recorded by McLauchlan . The OS found an extremely well preserved, near circular univallate defended enclosure, situated on Lower Helland Down, a spur south of the River Camel. It enclosed approx 1 hectare and has a simple entrance on the east side. A 25m outwork extends from the south-east side to protect the entrance.

Tregeare (Cornish: Treger) is a hamlet in the parish of Egloskerry in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. To the east is the hill Tregearedown Beacon. The outer defence of Tregeare Rounds Tregeare Rounds is an Iron Age earthwork half a mile northeast of Pendoggett in the parish of St Kew. An area with a diameter of 500 ft is enclosed by two banks and ditches. As it is overlooked by higher ground to the northwest it may have been used as a cattle enclosure rather than a fortification.
