William (Billy) Gawn was born of farming stock in Co. Antrim, N. Ireland in 1933.  The remains of numerous ancient structures dating from the Neolithic to Norman times surround the area in which he has lived all his life.  He has, with the use of dowsing, spent much time since 1985 in study of these sites as well as many others in various parts of the world.  This has led to a good knowledge as to the precise nature of the siting of these structures and how they interfere with or modulate the natural energies of the earth.
He has extensively examined the structure of energy fields arounds objects both large and small and their interaction with each other, as well as their interaction with the human neurological and biological systems.  This provides an insight into the way that geopathic stress affects the indivcidual, using muscle testing to demonstrate these changes.
In order to make the study of the movement of earth energies easier, he has developed a method of "deviceless dowsing" using his hands and eyes as the dowsing tool.  This allows him to dowse three dimensionally and, as much energy movement is vertical and int eh form of spirals, vortices and torroids, etc., he finds it easy to follow these as far as the eye can see in any direction.
He attempts to shed new light on some of the unanswered questions with regard to ancient stone structures and our place in, and our interaction with, nature.
He was founder member of the Earth Energies Group of the British Society of Dowsers and its chaoirman for almost eight years until 2003 when he stood down.
