William Camden says of Trematon Template:Quote
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.[3]
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".[4]
There was previously a Wesleyan Methodist chapel at Trematon.[1]
There is a Cornish cross at a road junction between the village and the castle.[5]
