I used Great Chesterford as a reference due to it's promenance on the map not because of any particular finds.But just looking at it now I realise it is only 5km from Bartlow Hills the site I nominated for the ambush of the ninth back when the page numbers were in single digits;

Obviouly I think we have been underplaying the coastline of the Wash as a determinant in this debate. Does anyone know of any good papers on this area regarding the early Roman era?
In looking in detail and the drainage of the area, maybe I could make the case for the Great Chesterford point to be shifted North to Cambridge, that would really open up the options for sites on Watling Street to the North West.
