When I first got kick-started into serious stone hunting ley lines were all the rage. If you got hold of Watkins' The Old Straight Track (1925) you were considered to be someone worth talking to and if you had a copy of his Early British Trackways (1922), well you were seen as someone rather special for some weird reason.
So what has happened since, is the ley-line idea still fashionable or simply seen as a hit and miss or chance thing? I had an interest in it for a short while linking barrows, stone circles, hill forts, standing stones etc but it always seemed to me that much of it was a bit random.
