Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.

[Theoderic]

If you like sites without a significant defile and a Fort in the same field (Windridge) ... this could be for you

I have to say that I like the general narrative by Duncan Mackay and it was touched upon by Harry Sidebottom at his Battlefield Trust lecture at St Albans and he mentioned Echolands but in a general way. 

The thrust of Harry's amusing lecture was that he felt that there wasn't much to go on regarding archaeology and whether we could rely on the descriptions from Tacitus or Dio either (probably what most of us realised years ago but the fun is trying to make it work with what we do have), although Harry thinks that the rebellion was AD61 but also that Boudicca seems to be associated with any rebel cause nowadays.

Regarding the Windrush site it seems that apart from the lead shot and the fort(?), and that there is a bit of a valley and the site overlooks Watling Street and the Camlet Way, there isn't that much to recommend it.

There is also a river delimiting one area of the battlefield, which we have always thought could be problematic as a river is never mentioned in Tacitus.

Also it effectively would be a threat to Boudicca's flank as she marched toward St Albans (if she came up Watling Street from London) so she would not have destroyed St Albans but have gone to battle first.

This of course could imply that SP burnt the granaries denying any food  from the Brythons that could not be transported, before he left after evacuating the citizens from St Albans and it was not Boudicca at all.
