St Michael's Mount, par. and small fishing vil. with harbour, on S. coast of Cornwall, at Mounts Bay, near Penzance, 21 ac. and 47 foreshore, pop. 84. The mount, which gives its name to the par., is a large granite rock, connected with the mainland at low water by a causeway; it is about 1 mile in circumference, and is surmounted by a castle (6th century) which figured prominently in the great Civil War. The place is of great historical and antiquarian interest.
