Piran's Round

A later Iron Age circular enclosure, or possibly early post Roman period. A round consists of an embanked enclosure - the ancient equivalent of a farming hamlet. In more recent times it has seen use as a Plen-an-Gwarry or Playing Place, the Cornish Cycle of Mystery Plays being a regular feature. To the middle-right is a spoon-shaped depression called the Devil's Frying Pan. During the plays, the devil would rise out of this depression "Behind You!".
