Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1012807) describes part of the Penn Moor contour reave, which runs in an almost straight line across the slope of Penn Moor for about 500 metres, from east of the Rook watershed reave to Ford Brook. This part runs from its west end, about 20 metres east of the Penn Beacon settlement on Rook Reave, for about 170 metres to a gap where the reave has been robbed over about 10 metres. It is a bank of smallish boulders with some large natural ones, up to 3 metres wide and 0.75 metres high. It lies in the parish of Cornwood, about 1.3 km north of Rook Tor and 3.1 km east of Lee Moor.
