Kerbed platform cairn on Wingletang Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. The cairn consists of a stone platform defined by a kerb of orthostatic stones, a construction method characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices in southwest England. Located 25 metres south-southwest of Beady Pool, the monument represents the tradition of formal burial commemoration practised during the Bronze Age in this region. The kerbed platform form suggests a date within the Bronze Age period, when such structured cairns served as burial sites and territorial markers across the Cornish landscape.
