“Early British Trackways,” a work by Alfred Watkins, published by Simpkin Marshall and Company, London, is a A beautifully-illustrated booklet treating of early British trackways, moats, mounds, camps, and sites, and will appeal, not merely to antiquaries, but also to nature lovers, and that growing class of pedestrians who seek their pleasure in discovering the early conditions of life in this country. Many new facts are disclosed, especially the revelations of a systematic planning of prehistoric trackways. All sorts of field ramblers and scoutmasters will find it highly suggestive of interesting holiday work. The author’s discoveries are that the moats, mounds, churches, etc., range in a straight line with a hill peak at one end, some of the elevated view points being artificial. Besides his wealth of photographs, he gives maps of certain areas which bear out his conclusions, to prove the soundness of his deductions.
