Platform cairn with outer bank and central mound 430m WSW of Smallacoombe Tor is a Bronze Age funerary or ceremonial monument located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall.

Such monuments are characteristic of the extensive cairn complexes found across Bodmin Moor and represent significant ritual or burial practices of their time. The physical arrangement suggests deliberate construction to create a defined ceremonial or burial space, though the specific function remains typical of Bronze Age platform cairn usage across the region.
