Leskernick stone alignment is a Bronze Age monument located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The alignment comprises a series of standing stones arranged in linear formation, characteristic of ritual or ceremonial structures erected during the Bronze Age period. The stones remain in situ across the moorland landscape, preserving evidence of prehistoric monumental construction and the organisation of Bronze Age communities in southwestern Britain. Such alignments are considered significant archaeological features for understanding the ritual practices and territorial arrangements of Bronze Age societies in Cornwall.
