Abstract
Alfred Watkins (1855-1935) originated the idea of ley-lines and surveyed alignments which
articulated the prehistoric landscape of Britain, in his native Herefordshire in the 1920s.
Despite the scepticism of academic archaeologists, his vision of ley-lines helped shape
popular views of British landscape in the interwar years, and, during a revival of Watkins's
work from 1969, practices and perceptions of British land art.
