A 350m length of reave on Hingston Hill, 470m NNW of Combshead Tor, is a prehistoric field boundary system of Bronze Age date. The reave forms part of the extensive field and settlement patterns characteristic of Dartmoor's Bronze Age landscape, typically dating to the second millennium BC. Constructed as a substantial earth and stone bank, the feature represents the territorial organisation and agricultural management practices of Bronze Age communities in this upland region. Such reaves are among the most significant Bronze Age monuments surviving on Dartmoor, providing evidence of extensive land division and pastoral farming during the later prehistoric period.
