Back to St Albans and Windridge for one comment. This image of Burnswark has been doing the rounds on the National Geographic sites for a few weeks. The lower right corner is very right angled and the is an oblique corner cut of the lower left corner very similar to Windridge.
I thought I'd throw in an aerial view from Castle Dykes too in case anyone is interested. Castle Dykes is the wood in the foreground Weedon Hill above it. Note the "Great Plain" of the Nene Valley in the distance.The position on the Danelaw/Mercia border on Watling Street isn't something we have explored much but that would take me out of RAT and onto ASAT, which I don't think exists. I could buy a refortification of the features in the AS and later medieval periods as well as the RCHM and locals view that the ditches might well have an Iron Age origin.
and looking back to Castle Dykes from the ridge East of Weedon Hill, gives a better impression of the topography. Large central wood is Castle Dykes, green horizon to it's left is Castle Yard, and small brick building, mid-right, is the site of the lower camp;
