Eylesbarrow Reave is a watershed reave which separates the watershed of the Plym from that of the Meavy, it extends from the Plym at Cadworthy Wood to the summit of Eylesbarrow, a distance of approximately 6 kilometres. Though the reave can be traced from end to end, there are now gaps along its length which result in its preservation in separate sections of unequal length.
This part runs for 800 meters across the top of Ringmoor Down with gaps of approximately 100 meters at either end and consists of a bank of stone and earth up to 0.3 meters in height and 3.0 meters in width. It is crossed by a later field bank in two places and by several recent tracks. Three large cairns lie approximately 100 meters from its north-west side and a stone row and associated cairns lie within 500 meters of the south-east side. Other details: SAM: 10628.
