Early British Trackways, Moats, Mounds, Camps, and Sites. London, Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kemp and Co. 1922.

The author claims to have made what he describes as “a discovery of wide scope.” His investigations have, as he believes, revealed for the first time a systematic planning of prehistoric trackways, and throw a flood of light on the evolution of defensive camps, of the sites of castles and churches, and on the meaning of place-names. The matter in the book first appeared in the shape of a lecture given by Mr. Alfred Watkins at Hereford last September, but the author and his friends thought so highly of the result of his investigations that it was considered well to issue it in book form. Mr. Watkins is a Fellow and Progress Medallist of the Royal Photographic Society, and this, of course, ensures the excellence of the illustrations.
