Throwleigh Common, Throwleigh, Devon : A 'Premier Archaeological Landscape' within Dartmoor National Park. Level 2 Survey Report
Author(s): Phil Newman
The settlement and parallel reave system on Throwleigh Common was surveyed at a scale of 1:2500 in the late winter of 2007. Although previously investigated by aerial archaeologists, an accurate ground survey was required to understand the full extent of the remains following designation of the area as a Premier Archaeological Landscape (PAL) in 2006, under the Moor Futures, Moorland Vision project. A total of twenty-five hut circles was recorded together within the 49ha reave system, which together make up one of the better preserved, though smaller examples of this type on Dartmoor, and includes some of the finest surviving hut circles.
