Leskernick Hill is a Neolithic to Bronze Age archaeological site on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, rising to 329 metres (1,079 ft) above sea level [1]. The hill falls within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and contains two Bronze Age settlements on its south and western slopes, featuring field enclosures, small cairns, a cist and a propped stone [2]. The settlements occupy extremely stony southwest-facing slopes and represent a significant prehistoric occupation site in southwest England [2].
