Eylesbarrow Reave is a Bronze Age field boundary system located on Dartmoor in Devon. The reave forms part of the extensive network of ancient land divisions that characterise the moorland landscape, dating to the second millennium BC when the upland areas were more intensively settled and cultivated. The monument consists of a substantial stone-built linear boundary, constructed from granite blocks and measuring considerable length across the moorland terrain. Eylesbarrow Reave represents an important survival of prehistoric agricultural organisation and demonstrates the sophisticated land management practices of Bronze Age communities on Dartmoor.
