Trevenen Bal is a hamlet west of the farming settlement of Trevenen, in the parish of Wendron. In the past, Bal meant a mine worked by spade in the Cornish language. There are lots of mines in the area.

A noteable Helston family was named after the settlement Trevenen. Its meaning is the settlement of white stones. The Trevenen family made money from mining, and built chapels and schools around Helston. They had a town house in Coinagehall Street, Helston and country houses at Bosahan in the parish of Manaccan and Bonython in the parish of Cury. A road is named Trevenen Road in their honour.

Today, Trevenen and Trevenen Bal are small settlements with only a few houses.
