Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a geophysical survey that was carried out by South West Archaeoloy Ltd. (SWARCH) to identify and to record magnetic anomalies at Perran Round, Rose, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall. The geophysical survey identified eight groups of anomalies that are mostly associated with extant and historical features on the site. These include: a probable ditch and material within a pit that composes the "Devil’s Spoon" (Group 1, Group 2, and Group 8); a former routeway through the round that may simply be represented in the ground by a slight worn track or hollow way with the potential for some compacted material but probably with no substantial construction (Group 6); material from the extant bank of the round (Group 5); possible deposits or features that are associated with the bank and the access through it such as erosion, remodeling, or repair (Group 3 and Group 4); and an unaccounted for metallic object or metallic deposit near to the middle of the round that could have uses that are associated with the ‘"Devil’s Spoon" such as a fire pit to light any activities or shows (Group 7). Some probable natural or geological anomalies on the site could be indicative of shallow ground disturbance that is associated with temporary structures and with the use of the site for public events, however these are not included within the identified groups of anomalies due to the extremely low probability of them being archaeological in nature. There are no apparent features or anomalies that one could associate with potential Iron Age activity or Prehistoric activity or with occupation on the site. This could support the theory that Perran Round is a purpose built plain an gwarry or playing place for theatrical purposes of Medieval or later origins rather than an earlier Iron Age settlement feature or round.
