Hi Nathan
Re Pitstone:
You are correct we have the same site but have reversed positions, see the attached for my positionings..
It is difficult, because where you have the roman line is the most propitious for SP but doesn't really support the writings of Tacitus (or at least my interpretation).

Meanwhile, on the subject of Pitstone Hill, I came across this sketch map I'd drawn a couple of years ago when we were discussing this before. It shows my suggested 'reversed' position, with the 'defile closed by a wood at the rear' being actually opposite the Roman lines... (which is probably far too convoluted, really!).
I've tried to add the woodland areas that seem to have been there in the past. Your idea, Deryk, I think swaps the two sides around in about the same area.
