Entrance to St Piran's Round. St Piran's Round is the best surviving example of a plen an gwary - medieval amphitheatre, or playing place. Cornish language miracle plays were enacted in such places in Mid and West Cornwall throughout the Middle Ages. Some believe that this one was constructed solely for this purpose but it does seem likely from its form that it might originally have been an Iron Age or Romano-British enclosure. It is still used for the performance of miracle plays and it has also been used on five occasions in recent years for the staging of the annual Cornish Gorseth.
