Leskernick cairn
Leskernick cairn submitted by theCaptain : Looking westwards towards the cairn from the tin worked stream. A couple of stones from the stone row can be seen (Vote or comment on this photo)
Fairly large and prominent cairn, situated on the saddle of land between the two Leskernick stone circles, and below the large settlement on Leskernick Hill.

There is some debate as to whether this is a large ancient cairn or more modern mining remains. From what I saw, I think it must be remnants of a cairn rather than mining remains, but cannot be certain.
