I don't know about a stalemate - I think we've collectively come up with a good handful of very strong possibilities. Personally I'd still go for Tring 2/New Ground as the best option.
As I understand it there is a putative temple showing from aerial photography at New Ground near Cow Roast - see the summary of the attached PDF - but this might be linked to the River as at Springhead in Kent.
This whole area does seem to have ancient roots linked to the Late Iron Age with coins found from Cunobelinus and Tasciovanus reigns.
There are later Roman coins from Claudius through to Honorius and of course the Tring (Claudian) Helmet found nearby.
Cow Roast is designated a Roman Town and there is apparently much more to excavate....
Is Tring 2 the site of the actual battle? Well it certainly could be......
