Hi John 1
One site worth thinking about has been mentioned before on this thread.
West of Silchester on the Speen / Bath road is Cunetio (Mildenhall Wiltshire) in the Kennet valley, which fulfills the topographical, hydrological and the events can be made to fit the texts as you say. It also is backed by the oldest documented forest in Britain.
It has iron age earthworks and in AD60/61 had a Roman road station on the hill built behind the eathworks.
An area that the Brythons knew well as it was just off the Ridgeway and close to Avebury a religious site. Accessible by Roman roads and Brythonic trackways.
It is certainly worth looking at.....
