A plausible scenario, Deryk!
However, I wonder why, if the Iceni etc were so keen to protect their territory, they'd all trek off to a site 100 miles west of their borders?
I'm still not convinced that Cunetio fits the description given in Tacitus, for all the reasons mentioned above - but we'll have to agree to differ on our interpretations.
As you say, all is conjecture! :-)
