the battle plans drawn up for the sites at Mancetter and Church Stowe require the rebels to attack across the defile, rather than along it
absolutely not, CS is an attack along the defile to the Romans who "lie poorly hid behind their entrenchments" - Tacitus "The narrow defile gave them the shelter of a rampart." _Tacitus....so they were on the ridge behind entrenchments :wink:
