This kerbed platform cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the moorland east of Trewalla Farm in Cornwall. The structure comprises a central kerbed mound surrounded by a platform defined by an outer bank, a configuration typical of later Bronze Age burial practices in the South West. The kerbing and platform arrangement suggest careful construction and considerable labour investment, indicating the status of those interred or commemorated at the site. As a surviving example of Bronze Age monumental architecture on Cornish moorland, it contributes to understanding settlement patterns and mortuary practices during the second millennium before the Common Era.
