You can find more information about the wgEncodeRegTfbsClusteredV2 table 
by taking a look at the track description page: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeRegTfbsClusteredV2. 
Note this part of the description, "This track combines data from many 
different cell lines and transcription-factor targeting antibodies from 
ENCODE into a relatively dense display." For original TFBS data 
submitted by ENCODE labs, please see the tracks in the ENCODE TF Binding 
Super-track 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?g=wgEncodeTfBindingSuper) and 
their associated download pages.

All columns and their descriptions can be found in the schema for this 
table: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?db=hg19&hgta_group=regulation&hgta_track=wgEncodeRegTfbsClusteredV2&hgta_table=wgEncodeRegTfbsClusteredV2&hgta_doSchema=describe+table+schema

 From the track description, "The peaks were computed using a uniform 
pipeline developed by Anshul Kundaje that uses the variation between the 
two replicates to develop sensible peak thresholds."

For more information, please see track descriptions for HAIB TFBS 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeHaibTfbs) 
and SYDH TFBS 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeSydhTfbs). 
You may also find information on the differences between broadpeak and 
narrowpeak file formats on our Data Formats FAQ page: broadpeak 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format13) and narrowpeak 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format12)
