Platform cairn with outer bank 825m NNW of Higher Draynes Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall. The site comprises a cairn set within a surrounding outer bank, a configuration that suggests ritual or ceremonial significance beyond simple burial practice. Such platform cairns with peripheral earthworks are characteristic of later Bronze Age burial traditions in south-western Britain, representing a period when funerary practices became increasingly formalised and spatially defined. The monument's survival as an archaeological feature provides evidence for prehistoric settlement patterns and burial customs in the Cornish landscape.
