Between Rose and Lower Rose is St Piran's Round (also known as Perran Round) (grid reference SW778545), a circular earthwork which could have originally been an Iron Age circular enclosure. It is considered to be the finest remaining example of a playing place or Plen-an-gwary – a medieval amphitheatre used for performing the Ordinalia, or Cornish miracle plays.[3] An article in an 1880 edition of The Cornishman newspaper reports that the present use of the Newlyn Amphitheatre (or pit) dates from 1852. Before this it was, said to be a quarry[n 1] and it now has a small house inside the boundary, for use by the Methodists for tea-meetings.[4]
- Could ″quarry″ be a misprint for gwary?
