Overview

History & significance

The reave forms part of the extensive system of land divisions constructed during the later Bronze Age, probably between 1500 and 1000 BCE, representing one of the most substantial prehistoric field systems in Britain. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch running across the moorland landscape, marking territorial or agricultural boundaries within the Bronze Age settlement pattern.
