One of the observations regarding the putative fort at Windridge is that the corner are not rounded, therefore not the classic Roman playing card. A similar fort corner was found at the Roman Fort at Valkenburg (2021).

More hints that Windridge is a likely Fort (if the outline wasn't enough) 1990 and Rosalind Niblett and Co. were assuming there was a Fort at Windridge.. Roman Towns: The Wheeler Inheritance ed S. Greep

If the Stonea "massacre" was part of Paulinus's campaign of vengeance and Grandford a fort to spearhead that action, then it may reinforce theories that the final battle was fought on Watling St up the Nene Valley #Boudicca This thread for more detail www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/showthre...

Info from Westminster Council suggests the unit blocking Boudicca and the public realm brings in about £1k a month as a stall pitch. So the question is the erosion of the statue setting and mess of a street scene really worth that much? #BoudicaFriday
