amid the silence I have been plodding away. The Windridge Fort (St Albans) is seen as very plausible after some drone photography of one of the Gates. First Roman Fort in Hertfordshire is the current billing, but being lined up for 1600 houses........ The Castle Yard (Church Stowe) site also yielded some interesting features by drone, fairly clear internal structures but these appear post Roman. Church Stowe also turned out to be the principal seat of Nicholas de Segrave (jnr) one time Marshall of England, no seat is identified in the area as Lord of Stowe, so could explain some of the feature at Castle Dykes www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Seagrave
