For the hamlet in Redruth, Cornwall, see Plain-an-Gwarry.
A plen-an-gwary, also known as a playing place or round, is a medieval Cornish amphitheatre. A circular outdoor space used for plays, sports, and public events, the plen-an-gwary was a Cornish variant of a construction style found across Great Britain. Formerly common across Cornwall, only two survive today: the Plen in St Just in Penwith and Saint Piran's Round near Perranporth.
