Sorry guys, I must have misread that they apparently too shallow :S apologies. I've found a quote of his theory in G.Webster's "The Roman Conquest of Britain" (1965):
"The earthwork was without doubt formed as a temporary defense to cover the disembarkation of the troops at the time of the invasion and to serve as a protection for the ships drawn up on to the shore during the initial stages of the campaign in AD 43. There is no evidence of a heavy occupation at this period, and only a small detachment may have been in garrison there: it may have been left derelict for several years."
