Rose (Cornish: Ros)[1] is a hamlet in mid-Cornwall, UK.
[2] 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 and hosting Cornish wrestling tournaments.
[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.
