Length of reave 290m north of Feather Tor is a Bronze Age field boundary forming part of a coaxial field system on Whitchurch Common in Devon. The reave, a characteristic linear earth bank of the second millennium BC, runs approximately 290 metres north from Feather Tor and exemplifies the organized agricultural landscape established during the Bronze Age across Dartmoor's upland terrain. Such reaves typically demarcate land divisions arranged in a geometric pattern, reflecting systematic land management and communal organization in prehistoric farming communities. This monument remains a significant archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use practices on the Devonian moorlands.
