Leskernick Hill is a Bronze Age landscape containing two settlements, associated field enclosures, small cairns, a cist and a propped stone distributed across its south and western slopes. The settlements and their surrounding features date to the Bronze Age and represent a significant example of prehistoric settlement organisation and land use on Bodmin Moor. The remains include clearance cairns and fragmentary field boundaries that indicate the extent of Bronze Age cultivation and habitation in this upland terrain. The site provides archaeological evidence of the way Bronze Age communities structured their settlements and managed the landscape around them during the second millennium before Christ.
