Why would the battle have been 'much more likely' located in this 'massive area'?
Meanwhile... This seems to be a new(ish) paper on the theme:
The Mancetter Candidacy
Some old points revisited, and a few new suggestions (including an idea that Roman legions marched only 12 miles in a day). Needless to say, Webster's 'cavalry dash' (without which any site in the Midlands looks very creaky, I think) is accepted with barely a quibble!
There is also some interesting further discussion on the meaning(s) of fauces/faucibus, which we've been overĀ a few times on here.
