Some remarkable discoveries made last year by a Herefordshire man, Mr. Alfred Watkins, a past president of the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club, are to be revealed in a booklet to be published this month entitled “Early British Trackways.”
Mr. Watkins has found evidence that prehistoric tracks were in straight lines sighted from mountain heights, and that all mounds (tumuli) and moats in the West Midland district are marking or sighting points on these lines; also that all camps, churches, castles and crosses (if of ancient date) are upon these sighted lines, and that place names in hundreds of cases confirm the fact. The book is profusely illustrated by the author, who is a progress medallist of the Royal Photographic Society.
