Two adjoining prehistoric house platforms on south-east Roughtor is a Bronze Age settlement site located on the moorland slopes of Roughtor in north Cornwall, approximately 960 metres north-north-west of Fernacre Farm. The monument comprises two adjacent circular or sub-circular platforms, characteristic of domestic structures from the Bronze Age period, that survive as earthwork features cut into the sloping ground. These platforms represent the foundations or levelled areas upon which roundhouses would have stood, and their proximity suggests a small settlement unit or family group occupation. Such house platforms are a common feature of Bronze Age settlement patterns across Cornish moorland, indicating the utilisation of upland areas for permanent or semi-permanent habitation during this prehistoric period.
