Part of Penn Moor contour reave is a Bronze Age field system located on Dartmoor in Devon. The reave consists of a substantial linear earthwork that follows the contour of the moorland, forming part of the extensive networks of land division constructed across Dartmoor during the second millennium BCE. Such contour reaves typically comprise low stone banks that served to demarcate agricultural land and control livestock movement across the upland landscape. This particular monument represents evidence of organized Bronze Age settlement and land management practices on the Dartmoor plateau.
