Platform cairn 690m south-east of Carkeet Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall, England. The site consists of a platform cairn, a burial structure built from stones arranged on a deliberately levelled or constructed platform, typical of Bronze Age ritual and mortuary practices in south-western Britain. Such monuments represent evidence of organised ceremonial burial customs and social hierarchies during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2300 to 800 BCE. The cairn survives as a scheduled monument and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England under entry 1011323, reflecting its archaeological importance as a discrete example of Bronze Age burial architecture in the Cornish landscape.
