...and may prove interesting. Nic Fields goes for the traditional site at Mancetter, it appears.

I've recently got hold of the Nic Fields book. Whilst he does use Mancetter as the principal case study he makes it clear that the River Anker just doesn't fit the Tacitus/Dio description, thereby shooting down the site he is basing his description on. Otherwise a nice primer for the debate with High Cross, Church Stowe, Cuttle M(H)ill and Arbury Hill all getting a name check as potential site (no Dunstable Downs though so I guess he's not following RAT too closely).
The Church Stowe document has been updated on line with an addendum picking up more recent info this is at;
