About this Assembly
The Community Assembly of Liskeard (Cornish: Lyskerrys) is located in an ancient Stannary and market town in south east Cornwall which is part of the Kernow Territory.
The Cornish place name element Lis, along with ancient privileges accorded the town, indicates that the settlement was once a high status 'court'. King Dungarth whose cross is a few miles north near St Cleer is thought to be a descendant of the early 8th century King Gerren of Dumnonia and is said to have held his court in Liskeard. Liskeard was one of the last towns in Cornwall to have a regular livestock market, ending in 2017.
The monument of the Hurlers Stone Circles was excavated in the 1930s. It consists of three adjacent stone circles aligned north-east to south-west. To the west is a pair of outlying upright stones standing close together, known as the Pipers. Of the northern circle 15 original stones are visible, and excavation revealed the buried holes for a further ten, now represented by marker stones. The regular spacing of the stones suggests there would have been five more, giving 30 in all.
