Congratulations on crossing the Rubicon and stepping up to the plate with a site nomination and interpretation. You are now in the elite of Boudicca geeks.....
It may be the time of night, or just my brain, but I'm having a few problems relating the Google earth images to topography, are there any plans to put this lot on a contour plan for ease of cross reference?
Which translation of Tacitus are you quoting? From memory the ones I looked at didn't read in quite the same way, your version gives more weight to the Romans holding the ridge for a long time before proceeding to counter attack the Brits, fits the CS scenario nicely so I'd like to be able to quote it.
cheers and congratulations,
