This influential text chronicles Watkins's meticulous observations and arguments for the existence of these 'ley lines,' suggesting a sophisticated understanding of surveying and celestial navigation among prehistoric peoples. The book details how these straight tracks connected significant natural and man-made landmarks, from ancient mounds to standing stones, revealing a hidden order in the British countryside. With a tone that is both scholarly and passionately speculative, it invites readers to reconsider the historical landscape and the ingenuity of its earliest inhabitants. This enduring classic illustrates a unique perspective on archaeology and the mysteries embedded within our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48548945527003,"sku":"2026100003822-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/486d840c-3d36-49b4-8508-646997505719.png?v=1775142557","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100003822-secondhand-the-old-straight-track-its-mounds-beacons-moats-sites-and-mark-stones","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
