the circle are the 400 fields of fire from the supposed field fortifications. In this theory the waggons were between Stowe Wood and the base of Weedon Hill, out of range but with a great view of the assault on Castle Dykes. The Roman wedge came over the saddle between Weedon Hill and the 147 spot height, not much space for dispersal there, then there was the cavalry on the wings/ridges racing along to cut off the retreat.
