Details:
Quantity of wood exposed in weathering humps of peat. Excavated in June-July 1979. Revealed horizontal brushwood laid in a N-S direction, similar to Garvins Track (PRN 24769). Consisted of bent and rooked birch brushwood. The branches were more or less horizontal, most were held down at either end by others but there was no pattern to this interweaving. The track was placed on a reedy marsh with patches of standing water and isolated fenwood. Radio carbon date of 2470- 2640BC. Could precede Garvins trackway (PRN 24769) and the Jones track is lower at 1.45-1.50m OD. {1} 

NGR needs checking with Somerset Levels Project maps. {2} 

Further exposures of the track occurred in 1981-82, and many isolated track wood has been reported along or near the course of the trackway, in peat cuttings to the N (field centred on ST45653905) and in the ditches of Long Drove to the S. A prehistoric flint flake has also been found. {3}
