Are there examples of well known medieval battles with very little archaeological evidence?
score:9
Accepted answer
Even in England, where given the size of the country and the number of battles you can't help tripping over them, the site of a few very important ones are missing or wrong.
Bosworth field, the end of the War of the Roses is certainly commemorated in the wrong place.
The site of Boudica's defeat is unknown.
