Quote:Possibly a stupid question, but was there no Ordnance Survey grid reference on the go4walk site? Where is this in relation to the Ikneild Way? (marked on most maps)
It would appear, in fact, that the photo was taken from the Five Knolls (burial mounds). looking south-south-west. So not so useful, unless the enemy is approaching from that direction up Iknield Way! There's a detailed map here:
Dunstable Downs Map
The general area still seems quite reasonable though - but you'd have to find somewhere over on the eastern slope of the hill where it overlooks Watling Street. Plenty of defiles and similar features there...
