Overview

History & significance

Two adjoining prehistoric house platforms on south-east Roughtor is a Bronze Age domestic site located on the moorland slopes of Roughtor in north Cornwall, situated approximately 960 metres north-north-west of Fernacre Farm. The monument comprises two circular or sub-circular platforms that represent the levelled foundations of prehistoric dwellings, a settlement pattern characteristic of upland Bronze Age communities in Cornwall during the second millennium BC. The platforms are cut into the natural slope of the hill, a construction technique typical of domestic settlement on uneven terrain during this period. This site forms part of the broader landscape of Bronze Age activity recorded across Roughtor and the surrounding moorland, contributing to understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and land use in upland regions of south-west England.
