A book of great interest to archaeologicals and to the lovers of nature is Early British Trackways, Moats, Mounds, Camps and Sites, by Mr. Alfred Watkins, and published (4/6), by the Watkins Meter Co., of Hereford. First given as a lecture to the Woolhope Naturalist’s Field Club, at Hereford, (of which the author is a past president), the book puts forward a discovery of wide scope. It not only reveals for the first time a systematic planning of pre-historic trackways, but throws a flood of light on the evolution of defensive camps, of the sites of castles and churches, and on the meaning of place names. It provides a new objective for field ramblers and scout masters.
