Chris Kinsella and I have been researching the possibility of the lost battlesite locating at Clifton on Dunsmore which straddles Watling Street just north of Rugby. It is an armchair exercise mostly, but research on local historians, flooding patterns, skeletal remains in Georgian times, traces of military topography and the existence of a large memorial/cremation area near Lilbourne etc, has led us to believe that our pitch fits in well with many criteria established by ancient military manuals.
We published, with Clifton Local History Group, a treatise that won the Dugdale Socity Award for local history, but poverty,time and a demand for a return to some sanity have prevented us from expanding the original to full publication. Further details will be availble when we build our website, although as avowed crumblies we haven't the expertise to do that, however we are seeping into some quarters as a strong contender.Contact for further info at [email protected]
