Location

I'm curious that the infobox location is given as 'near Alresford' rather than 'near Cheriton'. According to the OS map it was at grid reference SU598293, nearer Cheriton than Alresford, hence (presumably) the name of the battle. Does this simply reflect a lack of a Cheriton, Hampshire article at the time of creation of this article, or have I missed something? Pterre (talk) 12:41, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, you have not missed anything, I couldn't find any link to Cheriton when I created the article. HLGallon (talk) 13:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, cheers, I have amended it. Pterre (talk) 17:14, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
