A length of the Great Western Reave is a Bronze Age field boundary system located on Walkhampton Common in Devon, England. The reave forms part of an extensive network of prehistoric land divisions that characterise Dartmoor's Bronze Age landscape, typically dated to the second millennium BCE. Associated with the reave are three cairns and two field systems, which together represent a substantial prehistoric settlement complex demonstrating organised land use and territorial division during the Bronze Age period. The monument exemplifies the coordinated agricultural landscape management that characterised Bronze Age Dartmoor communities.
