Cairnfield, cairn and a length of the Taw Marsh Reave 830m ESE of Moorland House is a Bronze Age monument complex located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a cairn and an associated section of reave, a characteristic field boundary of the second millennium BCE that forms part of the extensive prehistoric field system visible across the moorland. The reave represents the organised land division practices of Bronze Age communities, whilst the cairn may have served ritual, burial, or territorial marking functions. This monument exemplifies the substantial landscape engineering undertaken during the Bronze Age, when such systematic field arrangements and associated structures transformed the appearance and use of the Dartmoor uplands.
