Kelly Rounds, Iron Age hillfort in Egloshayle, England.
Kelly Rounds consists of circular ramparts measuring 230 meters in diameter with walls reaching 3 meters in height and ditches extending 1.8 meters deep.
Archaeological excavations indicate that the initial settlement at Kelly Rounds dates from 1250 to 950 BC, with the main fortress occupation occurring between 400 and 100 BC.
The northern section of Kelly Rounds maintains its original defensive structure, while agricultural activities have diminished the southern fortifications over centuries of farming.
The monument stands near the A39 road, two miles east of Wadebridge, with visible remains of the inner ditch cut into the bedrock foundation.
Recent investigations revealed additional annexes through cropmark patterns, suggesting a more extensive settlement complex than previously documented at this protected archaeological site.
