Well I couldn't find Webster using the term in 1962. Shepherd Frere 1968 doesn't use it although he puts forward two sites, both on Watling St. One being Mancetter by Webster, another being "North West of Towcester" sounds like Church Stowe to me...... but I can't find any more detailed references. Jones and Matless Atlas 1990 doesn't use the term but has a campaign map that happens to site the IX bump pretty much on Bartlow and the main action on ..... Church Stowe.... still no earliest ref confirmed.
