Leskernick north stone circle is a Bronze Age monument located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The circle comprises a ring of standing stones arranged in a roughly circular formation, typical of ceremonial and ritual sites constructed during the second and early third millennia BCE. Its position on the moorland plateau places it within a landscape rich in prehistoric archaeology, where such circles served functions connected to communal gathering, astronomical observation, or ritual practice. The monument survives today as a tangible record of the ritual and social practices of Bronze Age communities in south-west Britain.
