Visited 02/06/1992 (SX) Length of Leather Tor reave. This 40 metre length of reave denotes the southern side of a small sub-rectangular enclosure (MDV50101) situated on the north-east slope of Leather Tor overlooking the valley of the River Meavy. The reave survives as a 0.8 metre high, rubble bank with a width of up to 4.5 metres. This length of reave was probably once part of the Leather Tor reave, from which it is separated by dense clitter. The enclosure appears to abut the reave, suggesting that the reave is the earlier of the two.
