The Kerbed platform cairn on Wingletang Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the Isles of Scilly, approximately 160 metres north-east of Horse Point. The structure consists of a central cairn surrounded by a kerb of stone, constructed as a raised platform that would have served as a burial site during the Bronze Age period. Such kerbed cairns are characteristic monuments of Scillonian Bronze Age mortuary practice and reflect the investment in formal burial architecture during this era. The site remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement and burial customs on the islands.
