It's simple, really. I think that the area makes sense strategically but I have not decided on a specific site yet. I will consider Nathan and Deryk's suggestions on the ground and perhaps come up with some ideas of my own and then post my conclusions.
Michael if you are still visiting the Tring area it might be also worth visiting Ivinghoe Beacon and looking out between there and towards Whipsnade Zoo (you can see the chalk lion on the hill) to where the Brythons may have been gathered.
This sight does seem to have many of the attributes needed for a strong defence and apart from a river meets all the criteria set out by Steve but does have springs in the local area.
It also effectively sits on the Icknield Way.
I was mightily impressed with the area when I was there a few weeks ago.
PS: John thanks for the recent recordings - excellent summation....
