Platform cairn with outer bank and central mound 740m NNE of Goodaver Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall. The site comprises a substantial central mound surrounded by a clearly defined outer bank, forming a characteristic platform cairn structure typical of prehistoric burial practices in southwest England. The monument's physical configuration suggests construction during the later Neolithic or Bronze Age period, when such earthen and stone-built mounds served as communal or high-status burial locations. The preservation of both the central mound and outer defensive or demarcating bank indicates the site's archaeological significance for understanding prehistoric mortuary practices and settlement patterns in Cornwall.
