Last weekend, I went looking for this structure. It's a replica of a section of the 'Sweet Track' - a Neolithic walkway in the Avalon Marshes. The original was 2 km long, and built in the spring of 3806 BCE. It's named after the peat cutter who first discovered it, in 1970.

@RickGaehl@mstdn.social There's a great #TimeTeam episode where they excavate just such a pathway near Greylake in the Somerset Levels. S05E02. They make their own replica using period tools, too. Well worth a watch.
