This is a Bronze Age settlement comprising unenclosed hut circles with associated field systems and a section of the Great Western Reave, located on Dartmoor south of Wedlake Farm. The site dates to the later Bronze Age and demonstrates the characteristic settlement patterns of upland pastoral communities on Dartmoor, with domestic structures arranged without defensive enclosure alongside contemporary agricultural divisions. The Great Western Reave, a substantial linear boundary construction, forms part of the extensive reave system that organised Dartmoor's Bronze Age landscape into land parcels, reflecting the management of grazing lands and territorial divisions. The hut circles and field boundaries together provide evidence of a mixed farming economy typical of Bronze Age moorland settlement in the south-west peninsula.
