Prehistoric and medieval linear boundary with associated peat stack platform 475m SSW of Eastmoorgate is an ancient monument comprising a boundary earthwork of extended chronological use located in Cornwall. The site consists of a linear boundary feature with an associated peat stack platform, indicating successive phases of land management and territorial demarcation spanning from prehistory through the medieval period. The peat stack platform suggests exploitation of moorland resources during occupation or use of the site, while the linear boundary itself served to delimit land parcels across this landscape. Such dual-use monuments are characteristic of Cornish moorland settlement patterns, where boundaries frequently remained in use across multiple periods, accumulating layers of cultural and economic significance.
