Leskernick south stone circle is a Bronze Age ritual monument located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The circle comprises a ring of standing stones, typical of ceremonial sites constructed during the later Bronze Age, though the precise date of construction remains uncertain. The monument forms part of a wider landscape of prehistoric activity on Bodmin Moor, where multiple stone circles and associated features reflect sustained ritual and territorial use during the Bronze Age period. The site's preservation on the moorland has allowed it to retain archaeological significance as evidence of prehistoric religious practice and community organisation.
