William Camden says of Trematon
Trematon Castle, one and a half miles south-east of the village, stands in a sentinel position overlooking Plymouth Sound and dates from soon after the Norman Conquest. It is similar in style to Restormel, being a motte-and-bailey castle with a 12th-century keep. It was built on the ruins of an earlier Roman fort.
William Hals wrote that Caddock the son of Condor of Cornwall's "chief dwelling and place of residence was at Jutsworth, near Saltash and Trematon".
