Overview

History & significance

Part of Eylesbarrow watershed reave is a Bronze Age field system located on Dartmoor in Devon. The reave forms part of the extensive network of prehistoric land boundaries that subdivided the moorland landscape, dating to the later Bronze Age, approximately 1500–700 BC. This particular section comprises stone banks that served to demarcate land divisions and regulate the movement of livestock across the moorland terrain. The Eylesbarrow reave is one of many surviving examples of the sophisticated agricultural organization that characterised Bronze Age Dartmoor, reflecting the period's capacity for large-scale landscape management and communal land tenure systems.
