About This Book
The work proposes that prehistoric and early historic trackways were intentionally laid out as straight leys linking mounds, moats, camps, churches, castles and other landscape features. It outlines conclusions and supplies photographic and map-based proofs, illustrating sighting cuttings, causeways, mark-stones, and the transformation of stones into crosses while discussing the antiquity and individuality of these alignments. The text also examines trees, wells, Roman and traders’ roads, and place-name evidence, offers practical hints for field investigation, and presents numerous local examples, plates, and maps to demonstrate the survey and methods used.
