In an edit summary the question was asked "What is meant by access route?" I presume it means that the people who built the Sweet Track walked along the planks of the Post Track to lay the new track. It is based on this reference which says "It appears to have been the preliminary access route for the builders of the Sweet Track."— Rod talk 09:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
C.W.: Thank you for your enquiry. As I understand it, the initial interpretation of the Post Track was that it was used during the construction of the Sweet Track and was thus a temporary structure for the construction works. However, subsequent tree-ring dating has shown that the Post Track is likely to have been built 30 years earlier, so the current interpretation is that the Post Track was just an earlier version of the routeway. Hope that explains it. LCK: More or less; The access route in question then refers to the original interpretation of the structure? C.W.: Yes, I'd assume that was the case. Several reports don't seem to have taken on-board the 30 year age difference and still talk as if the Post Track was built to construct the Sweet Track.
What was the length of the track? Nowhere is even an estimate given. Abductive ( reasoning) 16:40, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
I suggest that this article should be merged with the Sweet Track article? Rwood128 ( talk) 15:02, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
