A mediaeval playing place, or Plen-an-gwary, for staging plays. This particular one was overgrown and practically lost before being cleared and used again in the late 1960's. The slight depression you see near the centre was a pit once linked to the outside by a tunnel, to make dramatic entrances possible!
