is that you at the top Major Important?
in the context of Dunstable could cavalry have both blocked the advance of a large body of infantry along the high ground (in line, file, attack or feint - or which ever formation might be appropriate) and been in a positon to redeploy downslope at speed to provide a more mobile defensive cover to the foot soldiers in the valley?
Another thought might be what would be the maximum slope angle a British chariot could effectively charge up. I'm guessing they wouldn't be descending quite so elegantly as your photo indicates.
