  An account of the archaeological investigation over a period of 15 years into the remarkable pre-historic land boundaries on Dartmoor - the reaves . The excavation of houses and settlement enclosures adjoining the reaves provides further evidence enabling the author to attempt to answer the questions of what kind of society needed these elaborate systems on high moorland and how the reaves relate to other ancient boundaries such as the Celtic field systems in Wessex.
