I have a couple of points to mention that may come to be important.
First, I think it may be important for people to consider the only source of Ironstone for making weapons is from the North west of the region in Northamptonshire. Would that affect your decision-making ?
Secondly, A Salt way from Salinae (Droitwich),17 miles from Worcester, ran across the midlands as far as a hillfort at Sandy in Bedfordshire. This Salt way is Pre-Roman, possibly Late Bronze Age, and appears to join up the network of Hill forts, with strong suggestions it included The Lunt Fort.
I have also to question the idea of Boudica's army, led by various Chieftains, all finding the resources they need travelling along a Roman road and not feeling vulnerable.
A few more things I consider,one is this 'defile' and its translation.the only one I could consider as a defence that I've read describes it like a' tongue' .A long narrow piece of land at the end of a valley .That gets ignored and I don't know why.
And What about Suetonius preparing defences around his position? he had time and Caesar would have done it.
I understand how this must sound and i really dont wish to upset anyone, but please just keep an open mind,thats all.
