Fascia & connective tissue
Looks like
A band of fibrous tissue from the inner ankle bone to the heel bone, forming the roof of the tarsal tunnel.

Holds the deep calf tendons, the posterior tibial vessels and the tibial nerve in place behind the ankle.
Keeping it well
The nerve can be squeezed under it (tarsal tunnel syndrome): burning and tingling in the sole needs a check.
