(03/12/1996) Centred SX 657739. Three axial reaves forming part of the Dartmeet Parallel Reave System (locally SX 67 SE 95) follow an approximate NE to SW course through Huccaby Newtake. The turf covered stony banks measure on average 2.0m wide and 0.6m high. The long rectangular enclosures created by these reaves do not appear to be sub-divided and there is no evidence of contemporary settlement though two small sub-circular encloses (SX 67 SE 21 and 166) one with an adjacent hut circle lie within the newtake.
Two similar though fragmentary reaves (SX 67 SE 193) conforming to the same axis lie 600m to the S in the in-bye of Huccaby Farm.
