Record Type: concept
corduroy roads (<roads by material>, roads, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Roads, paths, walkways, or trackways formed by laying tree trunks or split logs close together transversely, with the rounded surface upwards; a common usage of such roads is to cross a swamp or muddy area with vehicles. For walkways or cart paths that are slightly raised, made of cut timbers, used to cross a swamp or bog, and often in an archaeological context, use "timber trackways."

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Wegen, paden, plankieren of sporen die zijn gevormd door (gespleten) boomstammen dwars tegen elkaar aan te leggen met de ronde kant naar boven; vaak worden dergelijke wegen aangelegd om met voertuigen een moeras of modderig stuk land te kunnen oversteken Gebruik 'plankenpaden' voor paden die enigszins verhoogd zijn aangelegd, van gezaagde planken zijn gemaakt en worden gebruikt om moerasland over te steken, vaak ook in archeologische context.
