Also known as: Ker Lysyngi, Round called Lesingey Round

Lesingey Round is a ringfort, a smaller type of hillfort, about 1 mile west of Penzance, in Cornwall [1]. It is a scheduled monument [1]. Lesingey Round is situated at the summit of a hill [1]. The circular bank is 12–15 feet above the partly buried external ditch and about 6 feet above the interior; it encloses an area of about 1.5 acres [1]. As the inner slope of the rampart is absent in places, the location of the entrance is not known [1]. There are no visible traces of occupation inside [1].
