Maybe - I got the impression that the second defences were built over or through the earlier ones, which had been destroyed by fire. So the fire must have been before c.250BC, and certainly before the Roman occupation, unless the second defences could be dated to the post-Roman period. So tying the fire to the events of AD61 is a bit of a stretch... But, as you say, all these ideas are subject to revision!
