Summary
Bronze Age reave south and east of Kennon Hill, which joins the Throwleigh Common Reave. The remains consist of a stoney turf covered bank which is spread to 3m in places. Many orthostats survive in situ, giving a maximum height of approximately 0.8m. The reave is first visible on the eastern side of Gallaven Brook streamwork and runs north-east towards the summit ridge between Kennon Hill and Rippator or Rival Tor. There is a 655m gap in the reave where effaced by the Rew Lake pit streamwork and a marshy area on the east side of the streamwork. The reave then continues north-east on a slightly curving course and meets with the Throwleigh reave system near a settlement on the east side of Kennon Hill. Surveyed in October 2003.
