 The remains of similar tracks have been uncovered nearby , connecting settlements on the peat bog ; they include the Honeygore , Abbotts Way , Bells , Bakers , Westhay , and Nidons trackways . Sites such as the nearby Meare Pool provide evidence that the purpose of these structures was to enable easier travel between the settlements . Investigation of the Meare Pool indicates that it was formed by the encroachment of raised peat bogs around it , particularly during the Subatlantic climatic period ( 1st millennium BC ) , and core sampling demonstrates that it is filled with at least 2 metres ( 6 @.@ 6 ft ) of detritus mud .
