Ah yes, that's the same general area as the site at Aldbury that I suggested back in 2015 (I suppose that counts as the 'dim and distant past'!), but with a reversed direction of attack...
If the area of tree growth was the way I think (woods on the north-west slopes of the Chilterns) then the Britons would be advancing through the woods to get to the Romans. And they'd need to have already circled around behind Paulinus in some way to attack from the opposite direction to their advance (presumably) from St Albans. But all these things are possible.
I don't think we really know any more about the battle now than we did back in 2015 though!
