Unenclosed stone hut circle settlement, associated fields and a length of the Great Western Reave 500m south of Wedlake Farm is a Bronze Age settlement complex located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises multiple stone hut circles typical of Bronze Age domestic occupation, arranged within an agricultural landscape defined by field systems and the Great Western Reave, a major linear boundary earthwork of Bronze Age date that divides the moorland. The hut circles and their associated fields represent a sustained pattern of settlement and land use during the Bronze Age, whilst the Great Western Reave demonstrates the organised territorial management characteristic of the period. The archaeological remains survive as low stone structures and field boundaries visible as earthworks across the moorland surface, providing evidence of prehistoric land division and pastoral or agro-pastoral economy on Dartmoor.
