Peat stack platform 650m north-west of Bowhayland Farm is a Bronze Age or Iron Age archaeological monument located in Cornwall. The site consists of a deliberate earthwork platform constructed within peat deposits, representing a specialised use of wetland terrain during prehistory. Such peat stack platforms are rare features in the archaeological record and provide evidence of human exploitation and management of peat resources in south-west England during the later prehistoric period. The monument's survival within the peat environment has preserved structural details that offer insights into settlement patterns and economic activity in areas of difficult terrain.
