There is Dio's odd note about the three-part division, but I think your suggested plan only further exposes the problems facing any project of turning the whole hilltop into a kind of reboubt and defending it against all angles of attack: in the second image, the fairly gentle slopes in the top left corner of the picture would offer an ideal approach from the direction of Akeman Street, and would bring the Britons right into the Roman camp!
