This Bronze Age landscape lies scattered across moorland northeast of Horseyeatt, comprising a stone alignment, five cairns, two stone hut circles and a length of reave or boundary wall. The remains suggest a settled community that valued both ritual observance and practical land division, their traces still visible on the open moor today.
The alignment and cairns point to ceremonial or territorial significance, while the hut circles indicate domestic occupation. The reave represents the organised division of moorland, a characteristic feature of Dartmoor's prehistoric field systems. Together these elements form a fragmented record of life on the moor in the Bronze Age, weathered but legible to those who walk the landscape.
