In 1985 Peter Foss introduced an alternative theory. He attempted to place the geographical and military details from the contemporary sources within the landscape evidence.
Foss put the action within the area of low lying ground between Ambion, Dadlington, Stoke Golding, Upton and Shenton. He suggested this area as Redesmore – the earliest recorded name for the site of the Battle.
Foss argued that the Battle took place within Dadlington township, as the dead were said to be buried there. He placed Richard’s Army on a ridge to the south west of Ambion Hill, Oxford moving north off Fenn Lane, leaving Henry on the road, and the Stanley’s at Stoke Golding and Dadlington. This placed the final action on the Fenn Lane, north of Stoke Golding.
