This is what I believe to be the relation between my suggested site (Tring/Newground - in red, with an alternative position in orange) and Deryk's (in blue):
The 'defile' in Deryk's position is far more pronounced, but I hope the plan demonstrates my objection to it as well - the apparent ease with which the Britons approaching from the Bulbourne Valley could move across the high ground - perhaps following the Ridgeway - and attack from behind the Roman position.
I've also renamed to
Tring-WestLeith
Tring-Newground
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
