This is due for publication in April this year:
Boudicca’s Rebellion AD 60–61
...and may prove interesting. Nic Fields goes for the traditional site at Mancetter, it appears.
I'm a little confused about the dates given in the title though. Kevin Carroll, (The Date of Boudicca's Revolt, Britannia 10, 1979) presents a good case for the rebellion being in AD61, and it seems from all evidence that it was of short duration. So why the dual dating here? Is Fields merely being careful, and giving a general date range, or is he implying that the rebellion itself spanned two years? Have there been any more recent theories on this?
