Thetimber trackway was constructed of longash planks, withlime andhazel posts spaced along three-metre intervals. According to Coles, the heavy planks of the Post Track were rarely pegged.[7][8] The track follows closely in line with theSweet Track and, before the planks were dated, it was posited that it served as a construction platform for the Sweet Track.[9][10] It is speculated that it led to places of spiritual significance. It is likely that the route was intended to be a permanent fixture, with the track being updated, maintained, and eventually replaced as it succumbed to the elements.[11] Some of the wood planks were also reused in the Sweet Track when it was built, making the specific dating more complex.[12]
