I think you are correct on that for I was a member of his Northern Archeology Group at the time. This may have been shortly after his book "The Piercebridge Formula" and of course he did bring out his other book "On the Trail of The Legions"
There was another book but then I don't think that was completed before he died, whenever I spoke with him after his stroke he kept saying he would like to get back to Air Photography and field walking but sadly never did.
I was happy prior to that period he one day took me along his 255 line the frontier that pre-dates Hadrian's Wall, and when we take a good look and study it we can see just why Hadrian copied what Trajan had done but then swung his line to north of the river Irthing, this was to give the logistic supply for the western end that I have mentioned.
