List of ley lines - North England. West and South Yorkshire : There are many places here with names ending "-ley". This has been put down to Anglian colonisation, because the names of places in East Yorkshire are more Scandinavian or Danish. Lines connecting these settlements appear to be trade-routes.

Watkins' theories have been adapted by later writers. Some of his ideas were taken up by the occultist Dion Fortune who featured them in her 1936 novel The Goat-footed God. Since then, ley lines have become the subject of many magical and mystical theories. The two British dowsers, Captain Robert Boothby and Reginald Smith of the British Museum have linked the appearance of ley-lines with underground streams, and magnetic currents. Ley-spotter / Dowser Underwood conducted various investigations and claimed that crossings of 'ne ...

Ley lines are alignments of a number of places of geographical interest, such as ancient megaliths. Their existence was first suggested in 1921 by the amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins, whose book The Old Straight Track first brought the phenomenon to the attention of the wider public. The existence of these apparently remarkable alignments between sites is easily demonstrated. However, the causes of these alignments are disputed. There are three major schools of thought: Anthropological: According ...

Some skeptics have suggested that ley lines are a product of human fancy. Watkins' discovery happened at a time when Ordnance Survey maps were being marketed for the leisure market, making them reasonably easy and cheap to obtain; this may have been a contributing factor to the popularity of ley line theories. One suggestion is that thanks to the high density of historic and prehistoric sites in Britain and other parts of Europe, that finding straight lines that "connect" sites (usually selected to make them "fit") is trivial, and may ...

The existence of the observed alignments is not controversial. Both believers in magical and ancient theories of ley lines and skeptics of these theories agree that these alignments exist between megaliths and ancient sites. Most skeptics believe that their null hypothesis of ley-line-like alignments being due to random chance is consistent with all known evidence. They believe that this removes the need to explain these alignments in any other way. Some Chaos Magicians have views consistent with this, and claim this is in accord with ...

The demonstration of the plausibility of the current evidence under the null hypothesis is not a formal disproof of ley line claims. However, it does make skeptics likely to consider ley line theories as unsupported by the current evidence. Most skeptics would be willing to reconsider the hypothesis of ley lines if there was non-anecdotal evidence of physical, geomagnetic or archeological features that actually lay along the paths of ley lines. Skeptics believe that no such ...

According to data obtained by investigators of ley line theories, some ley lines points possess higher magnetic energy than the average geomagnetic intensity. This has been investigated and published about in sources such as "Places of power" (Paul Devereux; Blandford Press, 1990) and "Lodestone Compass: Chinese or Olmec Primacy?" (John B. Carlson; Science, 1975) among other sources. Theories of magnetic interaction at ley line points suggest to some observers that these points were used to induct energy. Some geomantic researc ...

The preface ends with this statement. What really matters in this book is whether it is a humanly designed fact, an accidental coincidence, or a "mare's nest," that mounds, moats, beacons, and mark stones fall into straight lines throughout Britain, with fragmentary evidence of trackways on the alignments.

King Cole was King before the troubles came, The land was happy while he held the helm. Beneath the light arch of the heaven's span He chose to wander earth, the friend of man. Man hear him on the downs, in lonely inns, In valley woods, or up the Chiltern Wold. Quoted by Watkins, from John Masefield's "King Cole" (London: William Heinemann, 1921; New York: The Macmillan Company, 1921). In this chapter, Watkins takes a different tack. He looks at names, the names of people and corresponding place names. In particular, " ...

Chapter 1 begins... Unlike tracks, mounds remain unaltered in site down the ages; in many cases practically unchanged on form. Their antiquity is undoubted, as for the past half-century a concentration of archæological energy devoted to exploring their burial contents has proved most of them to be pre-Roman. It continues.... Lasting through scores of centuries of unwritten and written language, it is natural that many different names have become attached to each structure, and they are accordingly known by the ...

The first paragraph is: In the district under investigation the mounds, or "tumps" as they are called on the Welsh border, are, as a rule, few and far between. But they do align with each other and their fellow-structures - moats - and also with other sites of antiquity. Later: Two alignments, chiefly of earthworks, cross on a ring mound at an acute angle... ...

Appendix A is entitled "Ley Hunting" and begins with a quote from Henry VI. All the country is lay'd for me and then continues: Both indoor map and outdoor field exploration are necessary. Field work is essential. It is surprising how many mounds, ancient stones, and earthworks are to be found which are not marked, even on the large scale maps. I often feel sure from small indications - such as the knowl marked by a tuft of trees, the two or three Scotch firs in straggling line, the conformation of a road with a ...
