Treneglos, from “tre-an-eglos”, means church, a particularly strong, solid church, or church town. The parish included Wilsey Down, on which were “four or five ancient barrows or tumuli”

Paul Ashbee’s findings at the prehistoric Treneglos barrow are described as: The ruined and gutted barrow called Tregulland Burrow, when totally excavated, proved to have had a complex structure. Stake holes denoting withdrawn stakes, an infilled ‘ritual’ pit, a satellite grave containing a cremation and arrowheads were the features of the first phase of its construction. A cairn-ring, with a buttressing bank, the soil for which was dug from an encircling ditch, and its turf covering, comprised the second phase. A great slab bearing cup-marks and an ‘eyebrow’ motif, also other lesser cup-marked and ornamented slabs were incorporated in

Warbstow was in the 12th century in the possession of Robert Fitz-William, Lord of Downinney (also Downeckney), who gave it to the priory of Tywardreath.

In 1960 it was listed as a Grade II building.
