St Piran's Round is an earthwork theatre or playing place located near Perranporth in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises a circular or oval bank and ditch formation typical of Cornish rounds, which served as performance venues and gathering spaces from the medieval period onwards. The site is associated with the locality of St Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall, though the round itself dates from the early medieval period or later. Such rounds were used for plays, ceremonies, and communal activities, and St Piran's Round represents an important example of this distinctive form of Cornish cultural monument.
