Steve questions the conventional location of the battle by comparing it with routes approaching York from the south. He suggests that a differently recorded bridge name near Tadcaster could explain the encounter's position. His reasoning concerns a river crossing and the protection of the approach to York. This remains a proposed interpretation of the name and geography, with no supporting document identified in the exchange.
