Platform barrow and four bowl barrows south of Carn Maer is a round barrow cemetery situated on Goonhilly Downs in Cornwall. The monument comprises five distinct Bronze Age burial structures, including one platform barrow and four bowl barrows, which form part of the broader funerary landscape characteristic of the Cornish uplands during the second millennium before the present era. The barrows represent typical examples of their respective types, with the platform barrow being a less common variant within the regional burial tradition. This cemetery group is of archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practice in the high moorland areas of Cornwall.
