"I'm not sure why the tribal boundary of the Iceni is so important"
My interest is the relative distance of candidate battle sites to theoretical Iceni territory... I work pretty exclusively on geographic factors.... I know nothing of the kinship of tribal leaders.... The proximity of that westernmost (Cambridgeshire) salient of Iceni territory to Watling Street may be significant particularly in light of Alans comments regarding strategic location factors.
"I see the battle somewhere around the western side of Iceni territory possibly not far from St Albans or between St Albans and the Northern Frontier forts (Lincoln?)"
Green = Bowden's definition of the Territory (ish) of the Iceni
Church Stowe - Northern Dot
Tring - Southern Dot
both equally "somewhere around the western side of the Iceni territory"
Also serves to demonstrate the extreme distances to Mancetter (equivalent to Dover), Bicester (equivalent to Nottingham), Ogbourne (equivalent to Manchester) and the "South of the Thames" group... I'm with Alan, but wouldn't stray much beyond 28.92 miles from home territory as a search criteria
