Overview

History & significance

Part of Eylesbarrow Reave is a prehistoric boundary feature located on Dartmoor in Devon. The reave is a linear earthwork constructed during the Bronze Age, forming part of an extensive system of land divisions that characterised settlement and agricultural organisation on the moor during this period. The surviving section consists of a stone-built bank or wall, typical of reave construction on Dartmoor, which served to demarcate land parcels and regulate movement of livestock across the landscape. Such features represent significant evidence for Bronze Age land tenure and territorial management in the Southwest peninsula.
