Overview

History & significance

Part of Eylesbarrow watershed reave is a Bronze Age field system located on Dartmoor in Devon. The reave comprises a substantial length of stone wall or boundary constructed in the later Bronze Age, forming part of the extensive organised landscape that characterised Dartmoor during this period. Reaves are characteristic features of Bronze Age Dartmoor and represent a significant phase of territorial division and agricultural management, typically dating to between 1500 and 1000 BCE. The Eylesbarrow example contributes to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and land division across the moorland terrain of south-west England.
