Bosvisack Round (also known as Langarth Round ) is a hill fort in Cornwall in England .

The website PastScape describes it as a multiple walled Iron Age hill settlement at the eastern end of a natural spur , which is located about 225 m northeast of Bosvisack and west of Truro , between two arms of the Kenwyn River, which come together about 650 meters east of the hill fort.

The slightly oval outer ring consisted of an inner and an outer wall, some of which have been preserved within the modern hedge wall. The outer wall is around 3.0 meters wide and 1.2 meters high and is partially visible from the outside. The best preserved part is the northwest third of the outer ring.

The inner wall, which was around 15 meters inside the outer, was removed in the first half of the 20th century. The interior of the Hillfort is 140 × 160 meters and about 2.25 hectares in size. Traces of hills are said to have been preserved inside in the first half of the 20th century.
