Three prehistoric house platforms on south-east Roughtor is a settlement site located approximately 1 kilometre north-north-west of Fernacre Farm on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The monument comprises three platforms interpreted as the levelled foundations of prehistoric domestic structures, likely dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age periods on the basis of their morphological characteristics and location within a landscape of contemporary settlement activity. The platforms survive as earthwork features cut into the slope of the moorland, representing evidence of domestic occupation during the later prehistoric period. Such house platforms are common archaeological features across Bodmin Moor and elsewhere in south-west England, where they form part of the wider settlement pattern of upland communities in antiquity.
