Two rounds at Playing Place is a Cornish ceremonial or fortified monument consisting of two circular earthwork structures located near Carlyon Farm in Cornwall. The site comprises two distinct rounds, a characteristic form of settlement or defensive work found throughout Cornwall dating to the Iron Age and Romano-British periods, though rounds continued in use and were constructed into the medieval period. The earthworks are defined by substantial banks and ditches that mark their circular perimeters, typical of the round form which served variously as domestic settlements, ritual centres, or defended enclosures depending on their specific context and period of use. The monument remains significant as evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and land organisation in Cornwall, contributing to understanding of the region's prehistoric and early historic communities.
