Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.
Break of slope to break of slope certainly less than 1500 m, defenders can choose any point on the slope to engage. Probably let the Brits wear themselves out coming up slope over nasty ground whilst defenders keep their feet dry on the ironstone cap. Based on range estimates I have seenĀ most if not all of that section is covered by artillery, leaving a central core that isn't under serious threat from Roman positions high up (add a bit to the artillery range card due to it being positioned 30m up hillĀ - oh and there's always the rolling bail of hay tactics that appear in so many films..... I guarantee it'll make it into the screenplay for this one along with fire arrows....
   
   

Most likely range of contact looks in the 350m range where the Scorpio might start to have an effect on the massed thugs...

   

and I'm a fan of this choke point part way up the valley as the first opening to the plain.

   

But really I don't think there is much more to say, more exploration of the site is planned, maybe a battle site ... maybe not, fascinating landscape I'll continue to work with. I've not made a definitive claim for this site it's just a good candidate and I enjoy the process and speculation.
