Rounds in Cornwall

Pastscape says "at Castle Cayle there are two circular enclosures, each consisting of a rampart and outer ditch. The `Little Round` is some 40 yards in diameter, and the `Great Round` about 60. The latter lies to the W. of the former and is on somewhat higher ground.
These `rounds` are so close to one another that at one point the ditches unite".
