Ah yes, of course. And a similar one (Coolus F?) at Bosham Harbour too, I think.
But, aside from Bosham (AD43 relic?), the others do create an almost-too-tempting pattern:
Colchester (AD61 debris deposit) - Wallbrook (London) - St Albans - Tring/Berkhamsted
Almost looks like the course of Boudica's campaign mapped out in Roman helmets...

So you did! And yes, Steve Kaye has it as 'New Ground Road', somewhere near the top of one of his lists. I had doubts about his sites further down the valley, as the Bulborne would more probably have been an obstacle there. I think this one might be ok on that front though. And the helmet find-spot makes it very appealing.
