Leskernick Hill is a Bronze Age upland settlement complex located on the south and western slopes of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The site comprises two distinct settlement areas with associated field enclosures, interpreted as organised pastoral and agricultural communities dating to the later Bronze Age. The monument also includes small cairns, a cist and a propped stone, features typical of Bronze Age ritual or burial practice on Cornish moorland. The settlement's preservation within the moorland landscape provides significant evidence for Bronze Age land use and social organisation in south-western Britain.
