From the northern circle I lined up my map and walked off in a southeasterly direction. On the map a small pond is shown near the row and noticing the bumps in the ground I reckoned on where I might find it.

I must admit I took the cairn for a waste tip from the early mining in the area. I am still not sure if the three larger stones lying on the ground are part of the row or if it starts with the first upright.

I will let you decide.

I must admit I did not walk the whole length of the row, only as far as the workings.

Leskernick complex - Leskernick Hill Stone Row – 3.4.2003

Time was running out and I’d had half a day of looking for minute stone rows so I didn’t try to map this, just to recognise it, which wasn’t that easy. After a while this lunar landscape starts to all look the same. A decent starting point is the large cairn close to the western end of the stone row. If you have a GPS system the row is situated between SX18707986 and 19017991.

Between 1978 and 1985 an intensive archaeological survey of Bodmin Moor took place using both air photographs and field survey. It was undertaken by the Cornwall Archaeological Unit and the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME).
