Trewortha, Cornwall

Trewortha is a monument comprising successive prehistoric to mediæval settlements, located on Smallacoombe Downs on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. The earliest prehistoric settlement pattern comprises a scatter of hut circles, rounded enclosures and aggregations of curvilinear field plots. The deserted mediæval village of Trewortha, thought to date from the 12th century, consists of a cluster of nine, possibly ten, oblong houses on an east facing slope. The monument is within the council area of Cornwall.
