Stone alignment, cairns, enclosed prehistoric settlement and a length of reave on Hurston Ridge is a complex of Bronze Age and Iron Age monuments situated on the moorland of Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a linear stone alignment, burial cairns, an enclosed settlement with associated field boundaries, and a reave—a substantial stone-built field wall characteristic of later Bronze Age land management. These remains represent successive phases of prehistoric occupation and exploitation of the upland landscape, with the reave system indicating systematic partitioning and control of moorland territory during the Bronze Age period. The monument illustrates the development of organised agricultural settlement and field systems on Dartmoor during the prehistoric era.
