The prehistoric house platform on south-east Roughtor is a Bronze Age or Iron Age domestic structure located on the moorland of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The monument consists of a levelled platform cut into the hillside, representing the foundation or floor level of a roundhouse, a characteristic dwelling form of prehistoric Britain. Such platforms are common archaeological features across Cornish moorland and provide evidence of sustained settlement and agricultural activity during the later prehistoric period. The site's upland location reflects the prehistoric exploitation of Bodmin Moor's resources and contributes to the archaeological understanding of domestic settlement patterns in south-west Britain.
