Mighty interesting. What are the paths? I don’t know either.

I believe I've read a 19th century book about these exact features, written by a Christian clergyman, and it is available online:

The Giant Cities of Bashan and Syria's Holy Places

For anyone interested in this story, it is a fascinating read. A firsthand account of a journey through the mostly uninhabited plateau, the author detailed the more mundane Greco-Roman ruins, but he goes into a lot of detail about these ancient features, which he posits are remnants of cities built by the Biblical giants of Bashan, who are said to have lived in the area around the time of King David.
