Scope note
Walkways, tracks, or cart paths made of timbers seated on risers to form a raised surface; usually used to provide crossing of a bog or peatland. Known in the archaeological record for over 6,000 years. For constructions comprising boards or timbers, but used for walking along a beach, in either archaeological or modern contexts, use "boardwalks." For roads or walkways, usually for vehicles and made of half timbers or logs rather than cut timber, use "corduroy roads."
