Section of the Abbot's Way trackway, 500m WSW of Honeygar Farm, is a medieval routeway in Somerset. The Abbot's Way is a substantial trackway that served to connect Glastonbury Abbey with the monks' outlying lands and properties across the surrounding landscape, forming an important part of the abbey's administrative and economic network. The section survives as a holloway or sunken lane, a characteristic feature of medieval tracks created by centuries of use by foot traffic, wheeled vehicles, and livestock. The route reflects the abbey's considerable territorial holdings and the necessity of regular communication and resource management across its widespread holdings during the medieval period.
